1. Introduction
The PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is an Internet ready device designed and is
equipped with an intelligent current-meter (True RMS) that will indicate the
total power consumption of a power strip.
The PDU offers an easy set up and user-friendly communication software. This
software 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.
1.1 Monitored Features:
Built-in web server, manager can real time to monitoring the current
consumption of the power strip.
Build-in true RMS current meter.
Setup easily, meter can read the IP address directly.
Provides audible alarm when the power consumption over the the setting
of warning and overload.
Send the email and traps when the power consumption exceed the trigger
value of warning or overload to the PDU.
Provides utility, it can monitor a large mount of PDU at the same time.
Supports the SNMP and provide MIB for the PDU to be monitored by NMS.
Provides power protection by the circuit breaker.
Slim size is suitable for the variety of rack to use.
1.2 Switched Features:
Built-in web server, manager can real time to monitoring the current
consumption of the power strip.
Build-in true RMS current meter.
Setup easily, meter can read the IP address directly.
Provide audible alarm when the power consumption over the the setting of
warning and overload.
Send the email and traps when the power consumption exceed the trigger
value of warning or overload to the PDU.
Provide utility, it can monitor a large mount of PDU at the same time.
Supports the SNMP and provide MIB for the PDU to be monitored by NMS.
Provides power protection by the circuit breaker.
Slim size is suitable for the variety of rack to use.
Real time to control each outlet of PDU.
Indicate each outlet status with LED.
Supports the power on sequence.

Interface
Type A:
Support 1 PDU with single power bank.
Type B
Support 1 PDU with 2-4 power bank.
No. Functions Description
1 Ethernet The Network connection for the built-in web server.
2 Audible
Alarm
zWarning- 1 beep in 1 second
zOverload- 3 beeps in 1 second
Note:
The audible alarm will not change the beeping status
until the current goes down and lower than the setting of
warning or overload for 0.5 amps,
3 Function
Button I. Press and release to turn off the warning beeping. The overload beeping can not be cancelled.
II. Press and hold the key after 2 beeping; it can let the
meter to show up the IP address
III. Press and hold the key after 4 beeping; it can change
the way to get IP by DHCP or Fixed IP.
IV. Press and hold the key after 6 beeping; it can reset
the Ethernet card.
Note:
Switched PDU series will reset the power in the same
time for pressing and holding the key after 6 beeping.

4. Installation
This section will instruct you to quickly 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 (Tma) 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 overcurrent 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)."

Hardware
1. Install mounting brackets.
The PDU comes with brackets for mounting in a rack. To mount the PDU
into a rack performs the following procedure:
I. Attach the mounting brackets to the unit, using the four retaining
screws provided for each of the brackets.
II. Choose a location for the brackets.
III. Align the mounting holes of brackets with the notched hole on the
vertical rail and attach with the retaining screws.
2. Connect input and output power.
3. Connect Ethernet cable to the PDU.
4. 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.
