provides the function that assistant manager to remotely monitor the multiple PDU power
consumption to realize the total current power consumption and utilization for the
enterprises.
Features:
zBuilt-in web server, manager can real time to monitoring the current consumption of
the power strip.
zBuild-in true RMS current meter.

zHomepage support SSL.
zProvide per outlet power consumption.
zProvide audible alarm when the power consumption over the threshold of warning and
overload.
zSend the email and traps when the power consumption exceed the trigger value of
warning or overload to the PDU.
zProvide utility, it can monitor a large mount of PDU at the same time.
zSupport the SNMP and provide MIB for the PDU to be monitored by NMS.
zReal time to control outlets of PDU.
zIndicate outlets and circuits status with LED.
zSupport power on sequence.
zSchedule control
zUser-defined group outlet control

Functions Description
Ethernet RJ45 port for network communication port.
Audible Alarm Warning- 1 beep in 1 second.
Overload- 3 beeps in 1 second.
Note: The audible alarm will keep beeping until the current
gets back to normal and the current is lower than the
threshold to 0.5 amps.
Function Button zPress and release to turn off the warning beeping. The
overload beeping can not be cancelled.
zPress and hold the key after 1 beeping; it can let the meter
to show up the current information and
temperature/humidity in sequence.
zPress and hold the key after 2 beeping; it can let the meter
to show up the IP address
zPress and hold the key after 4 beeping; it can change the
way to get IP by DHCP or Fixed IP.
zPress and hold the key after 6 beeping; it can reset PDU
back to default setting.
Meter 3 digits to display current and IP Address.
ID The identification of power bank or PDU.
LED Indicator SSL (yellow): Light on means that web access is protected by

4. Installation
This section will provide a quick instruction to install the PDU.
Rack Mount Instructions
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the
manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) 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 over
current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) 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)."

each of the brackets.
4. Choose a location for the brackets.
5. Align the mounting holes of brackets with the notched hole on the vertical rail and
attach with the retaining screws.
6. Connect input and output power.
7. Connect Ethernet cable to the PDU.
8. Switch on the PDU.
Note 1:
The default setting for the way to get IP address is DHCP. If PDU can not get the IP from
DHCP server, the IP address will stay at 192.168.0.216
Note 2:
TO SETUP THE NETWORK SYSTEM FOR PDU, STRONGLY RECOMMAND TO BUILD UP THE
POWER MONITORING NETWORK SYSTEM ISOLATED WITH THE OTHERS, IN ORDER TO
KEEP THE STABILITY OF GETTING POWER INFORMATION AND SYSTEM OPERATION.
