Rack Mounting Safety Precautions
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in
an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of
the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should
be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use
of power strips).

Vertical Networked Power Controller & Conditioner with Surge Protection and Metering

Use one of the following procedures to mount the power controller into
a rack:
lToolless Mounting
NOTE: For toolless mounting, the rack must have keyhole slots on
the rack frame or accessory channels with keyhole slots.
lMounting the Device With Keyhole Mounts
lMounting the Device Without Keyhole Mounts
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated in this guide, the installation
procedure is the same for PC-350V-12 and PC-350V-18.
Toolless Mounting
1. Align the keyhole mounts on the rear of the device to the keyhole
slots on the rack frame or the accessory channel.
2. Insert and slide the device down to lock firmly into position.

Mounting the Device With Keyhole Mounts
1. Use the rack mounting screws (not included) and washers (not
included) to attach the two included brackets to the rack angle.
When attaching the brackets to the rack angle, ensure that the
distance between the bracket keyholes is aligned with the distance
between keyhole mounts on the rear of the device. As shown below,
this distance for PC-350V-12 and PC-350V-18 is 24.49 in. (622 mm)
and 36.73 in. (933 mm), respectively.

Brackets can be attached to the rack angle using one of the following
three methods. Follow the method that is best for your rack
deployment to secure the device.
2. Align the keyhole mounts on the rear of the device to the keyhole
slots on the mounting brackets.
3. Insert and slide the device down to lock firmly into position.

Outlet Test
Before making connections to the power controller, perform an outlet
test to ensure that the outlet the power controller is plugged into is
properly wired:
1. Connect the included power cord to the power controller.
2. Plug the power cord into the outlet and wait until the POWERLED
and PROTECT LED on the power controller light green. This process
may take several seconds.
3. Verify that the red FAULT LED is not lit.
If the FAULT LED lights, then the connected outlet is not wired
correctly. Fault details can be viewed in the device web user interface.
For more information on monitoring and configuring the device
parameters, refer to the PC-350V Series Product Manual.
NOTE: Do not make any connections to the device until the
connected outlet is wired correctly.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the FAULT LED stops lighting when the
power controller is plugged into the outlet.

Reset the Device
A DHCP reset, hardware reset, factory restore, or power cycling all
outlets may be performed when troubleshooting.
DHCP Reset
1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press and hold the HW-R button for 1 second and release it for less
than 2 seconds.
3. Repeat step 2 five times.
The device will reboot, and the network settings will be reset to
default: default Hostname, DHCP enabled, and no static IP.
Hardware Reset
This process is equivalent to disconnecting the device from the power
source and then reconnecting it to clear a fault.
1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press and hold the HW-R button for at least 3 seconds and release.
The device will reboot.
Factory Restore
1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Press and hold the HW-R button for 15 seconds until all status LEDs
blink twice to indicate the restore command has been executed
successfully.
The PWR LED blinks amber during the factory restore process. The
device will then reboot, and all factory settings will be restored.
CAUTION: Performing a factory restore will clear all settings from
the device configuration.
Power Cycle All Outlets
1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. Tap the HW-R button for less than 1 second.
The power cycling initiates for all outlets.
