Specifications
Overview
The
7M
,
7N,
7S
,
7T
and 7W
series
units
are
r
ack
level
PDUs with
circuit
m
onitoring
via a built
-
in
web server.
In the
7M
series, b
uilt
-
in se
nsors monitor Voltage, Current, instantaneous and
cumulative Power, as well as
calculated Power Factor
.
The
7S
series
un
its have all these
sensors plus
outlet level switching, while
7W
series units are the same as the
7S
with added
outlet level
current and power
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. Optional
external sensors and network cameras are
also
available.
These units can be built for
installation in either Delta or Wye
building wiring configurations.

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undes
ired
operation.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES
-
003.

Installation
Guidelines

If the PDU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater
than
the PDU’s maximum rated operating temperature
.

Inst
all the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is
not compromised.

Mount the PDU 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 PDU relies on the building installation for protection from over
-
current
conditions
. A
Listed circuit breake
r is required
with
in the building installation. The circuit breaker should
be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate ratings and local/national electrical code
s
.

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 PDU must be connected to an earthed socket
-
outlet.

The
PDU is intended for Restricted Access Location
s only and o
nly service personnel should
install and access the PD
U.

For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so
that
the input plug or appliance coupler may be
disconnected for service.

Sequential power
-
up via Power
-
On Actions of devices powered by
the
PDU is recommended
to avoid high inrush current. See
Power
-
On Actions
(page
38
) for details.

Caution:
Disconnect all power cords before servicing.

Network Overview
This product
comes preconfigured
with a default IP address set
. Simply connect to the PDU and
access th
e web
page with your browser.
Default
IP Address
7M
,
7N,
7S
and
7W
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 i
s no longer active. To restore the default IP address, press
and hold
the reset button
located below the network connector
for 20 seconds
while the unit is powered up
.
The Idle and
A
ctivity lights
next to 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 sh
own on the front of the uni
t:

IP Address:
192.168.123.123

Subnet
Mask:
255.255.255.0

Gateway:
192.168.123.1

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
vi
ew
s of the unit’s data
.
Real
time readings are provided for all
power strip data, outlet group data
(
7W
only)
, and sensor
data
next to
historical
graphs.
For units configured for Wye wiring
all readings are based on the line currents; A, B, C.
For uni
ts configured for Delta wiring c
urrent readings are based on input line current
(A, B, C)
.
All other readings (Voltage, Real/Apparent Power, Power Factor and kWatt
-
Hours) are based on
the Phase
-
to
-
Phase Load (AB, BC, CA).
Optional cameras may be added an
