Package
The ITS Commander™ is designed to improve system reliability and lower the cost of
ownership through reduced maintenance costs. The system benets both the owning
agency and maintaining agency by promptly sending signals of an abnormal situaon,
allowing roune monitoring of crical equipment, and providing the capability to
remotely control outlets to reboot equipment. These features can reduce
unnecessary trips to inspect or service the cabinet thereby saving money.
Southern Manufacturing’s ITS Commander™ may be integrated with ITS enclosures
from the factory. Power panel and factory installed equipment are pre-wired and
connected.

Power
1. Ensure the input circuit breaker is in the OFF posion before proceeding.
2. Connect the IEC-C13 (FEMALE) end of the power cord to the rear of the unit.
3. Connect the NEMA 5-15P (MALE) end of the power cord to the desired power source (receptacle).
The desired power source may be a PDA (Power distribuon assembly) receptacle, or other appropriate power source.
1. The 15 A circuit breaker, located on the front of the unit, may also serve as an ON / OFF switch.
CAUTION
Ensure input circuit breaker is in the OFF posion before applying power to the unit.
CAUTION
Do not remove the MALE end of the power cord in order to “hardwire” the unit. Ensure proper safety
standards are followed by using only listed or recognized power cords.
NOTE
This unit has a safe shutdown feature. This feature provides a few seconds of back up power within the unit
to safely shut down and send one last “packet” of informaon to the server.
NOTE
If power or connecvity is lost to the unit, the below message will appear on the summary page.

2. Outlet labels may be changed in the [Names and Nocaons] tab.
3. LEDs on the front of the unit labeled A—H indicate the ON / OFF status of each outlet. An illuminated LED means ON.
Relays
1. Connect desired equipment to the relay posion using 12—22 AWG wire.
2. Relay labels may be changed in the [Names and Nocaons] tab.
3. LEDs on the rear of the unit labeled Relay 1-6 indicate the OPEN / CLOSED status
of each relay . An illuminated LED means CLOSED (current is allowed to ow)

Input (Dry Contacts)
1. Ensure the input circuit breaker is in the OFF posion before proceeding.
2. Connect the desired switch/equipment terminal to the Input posion using 16—24 AWG wire. Do not connect live power to
the input (dry contact) terminal. Connecng live power will result in severe damage to the unit
3. Input labels may be changed in the [Names and Nocaons] tab.
4. Alarm status for normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact closures may be changed in the [Names and
Nocaons] tab.
5. LEDs on the rear of the unit labeled Input 1-12 indicate the OPEN / CLOSED status of each input . An illuminated LED means a
CLOSED input.
CAUTION
Inputs (Dry Contacts) provide their own voltage. DO NOT connect live power to Input (Dry Contact)
terminals. Connecng live power to Input (Dry Contact) terminals will result in severe damage to the unit.
