Ⅰ. Introduction
The Hot-Swapple and AC/DC integration FlexPDU is EATON’s newest scientific achievement in the
power distribution filed in 2016. On the trend of future power distribution management technology
development, combining the technology requirement of the modern data center application environment,
adopting key technology with fully independent intellectual property, the product FlexPDU is designed in
combination of network communication, AC/DC integration, power distribution, network management and
hot-swappable technology.
Ⅱ. Main functions
1. Monitor input voltage
2. Monitor total load current
3. Monitor total power (kW)
4. Monitor energy consumption (kWh)
5. Monitor the micro-environment in the cabinet
Ⅲ. Monitoring method
Via software: FlexPDUs can be monitored and managed though centralized management software--- CLEVER
Manager
Ⅳ. Applications
Apply to single phase 100VAC~240VAC up to 63Amps, three phase 200VAC~400VAC up to 32Aamps and
100VDC~350VDC power source. The outlet type and quantity can be customized at request.
FlexPDU is widely applied to the data centers of industries like network communication, telecom, electric power,
finance, insurance, aerospace, transportation, information processing, education, medical, E-government etc.

3. Hardware settings
3.1 Address code settings: To locate the address code page(like Add -0) from the LCD screen, press DOWN
key to set the value which cycling from 4 to 0 for the master or slave address code and
press UP key to set the value which cycling from 0 to 4, the address code range from 0
to 4.
3.2. Current or Voltage threshold settings: To locate the threshold setting page(like L1 32.0A 276VAC);
Press DOWN key to select the value need to be set, the select position will flesh, then
press UP key to set the threshold value, the allowed maximum current is 32A and
maximum voltage is 276VAC
Note: All above settings must be saved by pressing the MENU key, and the settings will take effective after
the beep sound, otherwise, the device will without saving the settings.

3.4 Mute the alarming: Press and hold the MENU key for 5-6 seconds when there is a alarming to turn
off/on the alarm. When the alarm was turned on, an O in red will be displayed in the screen, When
the alarm was turned off, an F in red will be displayed in the screen.
4. Daisy-chain connection
Serial Daisy-chain mode:
（Figure 1）
4.1. Setting one FlexPDU as Master unit, and the rest as Slave unit. The maximum daisy-chain is 4pcs. Apply
to FlexPDU, refer to figure 1
Ethernet Daisy-chain mode:
（Figure 2）
4.2. Connect the each FlexPDU to the port from the HUB and connect the Net port from HUB to the internet. No
limitation for the FlexPDU quantity. Please see figure Figure 3.
4.3 Connecting the Master net port with computer net port,then access via IE.

Main interface includes 3 parts: Company Logo, Menu and device states.
A. Device State:
A. Device state: Click the Device State(AC or DC), user can check the current, voltage, power factor,
Active power, Apparent power, energy consumption, Frequency, Temperature and Humidity senor of
the FlexPDU as figure 2
Input: From the drop-down list to view the power date of L1,L2 or L3（Single phase module
does not have drop-down list）
From the drop-down list view the power date or Master unit or Slave units. One
Master unit can support to you 4 Slave unit (Slave 1- Slave 4)
B. Threshold setting: to set threshold of total load current.See below.
User can set up the threshold of current, voltage, temperature and humidity from the threshold
settings page as figure 3.
Figure 3
Set up the threshold of current, voltage, temperature and humidity
The current of single phase range from 0-63A; three phase range from 0-32A and Direct current
range from 0-60A
The input voltage range from 170-276VAC
The temperate range from 0-40℃and humidity range from 0-99%
