Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to
the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
Safety
This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However,
special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with
electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed
at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
CE Mark Warning

1.2 Overview
High Voltage Power Distribution Unit with Digital Load Meter
PLANET IPM-16120 is a 16-port IP Power Management device that provides premium power
protection for your professional workstations and connected devices. With the innovative IP-based
technology, PLANET has made the traditional power management equipment into true networking
devices. The unit comes with a digital load meter to enable the PDU's load to be monitored on-site.

Vertical Mounting
Any devices can be easily mounted vertically in racks or enclosures and occupy zero U of valuable rack
space, which allows more equipment in the rack.
Electric Current Monitored on Display
The aggregate current draw per rack PDU is displayed on the unit via a digital display. The local digital
display helps installers avoid overloaded circuits by providing a visible warning when the current draw is
close to the maximum amperage draw of the strip.
Remote Management Capabilities
Full-featured network management interfaces provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP

and Telnet. They allow users to access, configure, and manage units from remote locations to save
valuable time.
Overload Protection
16-amp circuit breaker prevents dangerous circuit overloads that could damage equipment. The PDU
features a built-in circuit breaker and reset switch, ensuring dependable performance of vital
equipment.

Panel Operation
The first mode of LCD is total current, switching with the five-sided button down to show the regular
sequence of current info, max. current, inner temp.and network info as shown below:
When the LCD menu shows current info, hold the five-sided button in the middle for 3 seconds until
a long beep sounds to enter alarm current setting.
1. For modification of alarm current, press to increase the alarm current by 0.5A in
each press.
2. After increasing to the maximal alarm current, the value will return back to 0.5A
again, and this will cycle.
3. Once the alarm current reaches the wanted value, hold the five-sided button in
the middle for 3 seconds until a "beep" soundsto end the setting.
When the LCD shows the maximum total current record, hold the five-sided button in the middle
for 3 seconds until a long beep sounds to adjust it to a zero point.

When the LCD menu shows network info, hold the five-sided button for 10 seconds until two
beeps sound to enter reset mode.
2.2 Installation Precautions
Please set the maximum power-off protection allowed by power circuit as per the rated current
information indicated on the device with reference to the local state rules, safety procedures and
disconnector deviation.
The unit can only be connected to a grounded power outlet or system.
Make sure the total current output of all the connected systems is within the rated current indicated
on the device.
The test results of this device may be inaccurate giving unstable power supply.
Avoid using this device in places near water or moisture environments.
In order to avoid a fire hazard or risk of electric shock, do not expose the product to
rain or moisture.

After the device connects to the network, IP can be acquired automatically through DHCP server (The
device IP will be preset to 192.168.0.10 if there is no DHCP server.). The acquired IP can be displayed
on the LCD panel or device IP can be searched by IP Search Utility.
Default DHCP Client On
Default IP Address 192.168.0.10 – if no DHCP existed in the network
Default Port 80
Default Login User Name Set itself
Default Login Password Set itself
Search Tools ip_search
3.2 Setup Wizard
When you use the IPM-16120 for the first time, after it is connected to the Internet, browser would pop
up Setup Wizard asking you to provide language, account, password, network and time zone.
Step 1: Language Selection
Select your language currently available in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, and
press Next to continue.
