1 Introduction
Congratulations on selecting the intelligent power strip from Bachmann's BlueNet
series. From the moment of installation, the various products in the Bachmann
BlueNet range will deliver you a high level of cost-effectiveness. The various modules
offer you the best conditions for setting up an optimised energy management system.
Before starting to use this product please read the complete manual and observe all
operational and safety notices to ensure safe operation.

2 First steps
2.1 Access via TCP / IP
Once assembly is complete and the power strip is connected, you can use a browser
to access the user interface.
In the factory settings, the power strip obtains an IP address from a DHCP
server. If there is no DHCP server on your network, we recommend installing a
local DHCP server on a workstation which is NOT connected to the company
network. When you then connect the PDU to the workstation, an IP address will
be assigned automatically.
1. Enter the IP address of the power strip in the browser's address bar.
2. You will now see the summary page, where you can check the following
information at a glance:
A ) Effective energy
B ) Effective power
C ) Current
!
A B C
D E F
G

D ) Total effective energy (in multi-phase systems)
E ) Total effective power (in multi-phase systems)
F ) Total current (in multi-phase systems)
G ) Temperature / air humidity (with supported sensors)
3. Click on "Analyzer" for a detailed view of the measured values.
A ) Effective power
B ) Reactive power
C ) Apparent power
D ) Voltage
E ) Current
F ) Power factor
G ) Frequency
H ) Total effective power (in multi-phase systems)
I ) Total reactive power (in multi-phase systems)
J ) Total apparent power (in multi-phase systems)
K ) Total current (in multi-phase systems)
L ) Neutral conductor power (in multi-phase systems)
