1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation and the
operation of the Remote Power Manager (RPM).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
An Important Notice
To ensure safety in all applications ensure that a Qualified Service Personnel installs the system.
Make sure that the AC Utility outlet is properly grounded.
Do not open the unit there are no serviceable parts inside. This will void the warranty.
Do not try to repair the unit yourself, see Obtaining Service.
Please make sure that the input voltage of the RPM matches the supply voltage.
Use a certified input power cord with the correct plugs and sockets for the appropriate voltage
system.
Make sure the RPM is installed in the proper environment as specified. (0-50°C and 0-90% non-
condensing humidity)
This RPM series is ONLY intended to be installed in an indoor temperature controlled environment
that is free of conductive contaminants.
Do not operate the RPM in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near heating devices,
water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM is exposed to direct sunlight.
Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the RPM at all times.
This RPM supports electronic equipment in offices, telecommunications, process control, security,
and IT applications.
Servicing of RPM should be performed by Qualified Service Personnel Only.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a branch circuit with over current protection in
accordance with the National Electric Code.
CAUTION - Connect the RPM to a two pole, three wire grounding AC wall outlet. The receptacle
must be connected to the appropriate branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any
other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes. Do not use
extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips.
Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installation of this RPM equipment and the
connected equipment, the user must ensure that the combined sum of the AC leakage current does
not exceed 3.5mA.
CAUTION - To de-energize the outputs of the RPM: Disconnect the RPM from the AC wall outlet.
CAUTION - Do not install this device if there is not at least 30 feet (10 meters) or more of wire
between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.
SSL Configuration:
These RPMs only support the SSLv1 protocol, which in most browsers is no longer
supported. Please DO NOT ENABLE the SSL function, doing so will require resetting the
RPM back to the factory default settings. See page 5 the ‘Function Button’ to reset to the
factory default settings.

Receiving Inspection
After removing your RPM from its carton, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred in
shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims
for damage caused by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your RPM was
shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the RPM
needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is
not responsible for shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material
is inexpensive insurance. PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!

5. Installation
This RPM series is ONLY intended to be installed in an indoor temperature controlled environment that is free of
conductive contaminants. DO NOT operate the RPM in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near
heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM is exposed to direct sunlight. Select a location,
which will provide good air circulation for the RPM at all times. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or
damaged.
Rack Mount Instructions
A) 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 specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - 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.
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.
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
The RPM comes with brackets for mounting into a rack. To mount the RPM into a rack perform the following
procedure:
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the RPM, using the four retaining screws provided for each of the brackets.
2. Select the desired location for the RPM.
3. Align the mounting holes of brackets with the notched hole on the vertical rail and attach with the retaining
screws.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RPM.
5. Connect the output devices to the RPM outlets.
6. Connect the input power cord of the RPM to the wall outlet.
Note 1:
The default setting for the IP address is DHCP enabled. If the RPM cannot get the IP from DHCP server, the IP
address will stay at the default IP address 192.168.0.216
Note 2:
To setup the network system for RPM, it is strongly recommended to build up the power monitoring network
system, which is isolated from the others, in order to maintain reliable system operation.

Configuration: RPM
Configure the outlet name and the delay time.
Name: Rename the outlet.
ON: Set the delay time for the power on sequence.
OFF: Set the delay time for the power off sequence.
Note:
The maximum delay time is 255 seconds.
Note：
After the RPM is plugged into the main power, the RPM will automatically start to sequentially turn on the outlets
according to the preset delay time. The default setting for delay time is one second for each outlet; therefore the 8
outlet RPM will take 8-seconds, the 24 outlet RPM will take 24-seconds to complete the start-up sequence.
If the RPM is unplugged from the main power before the start-up sequence is completed, the outlets, which are not
turned on will remain off. The next time the RPM is plugged into the main power, these outlets will not be
automatically turned on. These outlets can only be turned on via the web interface.
