Specifications
Overview
The PViQ switched units have outlet control and circuit monitoring. Web pages, including graphs, are
generated by the unit to monitor power and environmental conditions within the cabinet. No software
other than a web browser is required for operation and several data formats are available. In the PViQ
Switched series, built-in sensors monitor Voltage, Current, instantaneous and cumulative Power, as well
as calculated Power Factor. The PViQ Switched per Outlet series includes all standard PViQ Switched
sensors plus additional current sensors to monitor individual outlet current. Optional external sensors and
network cameras are also available.

Installation
Guidelines
If the POU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature should be no greater than 40°C.
Install the POU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is not
compromised.
Mount the POU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take into
consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and
supply wiring.
The POU relies on the building installation for protection from over-current conditions. A Listed
circuit breaker is required within the building installation. The circuit breaker should be sized
according to the POU’s nameplate ratings and local/national electrical codes.
Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. The POU must
be connected to an earthed socket-outlet.
The POU is intended for Restricted Access Locations only and only service personnel should
install and access the POU.
For pluggable equipment, install the POU so that the input plug or appliance coupler may be
disconnected for service.
Sequential power-up of devices powered by the POU is recommended to avoid high inrush
current.
Caution: Disconnect all power cords before servicing.

Network Setup
Network Overview
This product comes preconfigured with a default IP address set. Simply connect to the POU and access
the web page with your browser.
Default IP Address
The PViQ Switched units have a default IP address for initial setup and access to the unit if the assigned
address is lost or forgotten. Once an IP address is assigned to a unit, the default IP address is no longer
active. To restore the default IP address, press and hold the reset button located below the network
connector for 20 seconds. The idle and activity lights on the network connector will both light up when the
IP address has been reset. The reset button is accessed through the white, circular hole located below
the Ethernet jack.
Note: Pressing the reset button under the network connector will restore the default IP address and will
also clear all password settings.
The Configuration page allows you to assign the network properties or use DHCP to connect to your
network. Access to the unit requires the IP address to be known, so use of a Static IP or reserved DHCP
is recommended. The default address is shown on the front of the unit:
IP Address: 192.168.123.123
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.123.1
Initial Setup
1. Connect POU to your computer using a crossover cable.
2. On your computer, go to “Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial Up
Connections.”
3. Right Click on “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties.”
4. Select the option to “Use the following IP address” and enter:
IP address: 192.168.123.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.123.1
2
5. Click “OK” twice.
You can now access the unit using your web browser at the permanent IP address of 192.168.123.1.

In some configurations, leaving the gateway field blank may resolve connectivity issues.

Web Interface
Overview
The unit is accessible via a standard, unencrypted HTTP connection as well as an encrypted HTTPS
(SSL) connection. The following web pages are available:
Sensors Page
The front page, Sensors, gives both instantaneous and historical views of the unit’s data. Real time
readings are provided for all power strip data, outlet group data, and sensor data next to historical graphs.
Optional cameras may be added and their live snapshots are shown on this page. Plug-and-play sensors
appear below the internal sensors when attached.
The menu bar allows access to the rest of the POU’s functionality.

Logging Page
The Logging page allows the user to access the historical data by selecting the desired sensors and time
range to be logged. Checked readings in the Sensor Measurement Data Graph section are graphed on
the Logging page and displayed on the optional remote display module. Checked readings in the Logged
Measurements section are logged into the data file at a rate of one point per minute and will be available
for graphing and display.
Note that although data is logged once per minute, all sensor data used in the real time display and alarm
functions is read at least once every 15 seconds for internal sensors and once every 30 seconds for
external sensors. Recorded data is available for download in a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

between the default and classic web page layouts. The default interface displays a vertical menu bar to
the left of the main window, while the classic interface displays a horizontal menu bar.

Alarms Page
The Alarms page allows the user to establish alarm conditions for each sensor reading. Alarm conditions
can be established with either high or low trip thresholds. The alarms are displayed in different sections
based on the device the alarm is associated with. Alarm options include a local Buzzer, Email and SNMP
Trap.
