INTRODUCTION
Refer also to the configuration drawing (C-drawing) furnished with your system for a list of factory default
settings.
Overview
•The monitor unit provides local and remote access to data and alarms for the voltage, current, power,
and energy delivered through a distribution bay.
•The monitor unit contains a color TFT display and keypad for local access.
•The monitor unit provides an Ethernet port and comes with comprehensive webpages for local and
remote access.
•The monitor unit can also be accessed via SNMP (v2 and v3), TL1 (over Ethernet), or MODBUS (over
Ethernet) for remote system management. A machine-to-machine HTTP interface is also available.
•The monitor unit supports software upgrade via its USB port.
•Optional monitor unit interface boards may be available in your system. These monitor unit interface
boards provide connections for binary inputs, programmable relay outputs, and temperature probes.
Monitor Unit Functionality
The monitor unit provides voltage, current, and status information about a distribution bay. It provides
summary information about the bay, summary information about each panel in the bay, and detailed information
about each distribution point in a panel. It also uses the consumption map so that the User can display
information about groups of distribution points.
The distribution system is a bay. A bay has locations for 2, 4, 6, or 8 panels. Some of the panel locations can
be empty, for future expansion. Each panel consists of up to 28 distribution devices. A bay has multiple
feeds, which are connections to incoming DC power. One or more panels are connected to each feed.
This picture shows these components:

Vertiv |NetSure Monitor Unit User Manual (UM1M832DNA)|Rev. C
8
There is monitor unit for each bay. It is a stand-alone unit that will not manage multiple bays and will not
communicate back to the DC Power Plant which provides power to the bay. Distribution bays do not
communicate with each other; instead, information from multiple distribution bays can be collected by a
Network Management System.
Adjacent panels on each side of the bay can be interconnected, to share the same incoming feed. When panels
are connected together to share the same feed, there is one current and one voltage measurement for the
panel on the same feed.
These diagrams show some of the possible ways that panels can be interconnected:
Panel G Panel H Panel G Panel H Panel G Panel H
Panel E Panel F Panel E Panel F Panel E Panel F
Panel C Panel D Panel C Panel D Panel C Panel D
Panel A Panel B Panel A Panel B Panel A Panel B
2 Feeds 4 Feeds 5 Feeds
Feed #1: A, C, E, G
Feed #1: A, C
Feed #1: A
Feed #2: B, D, F, H Feed #2: E, G Feed #2: C, E, G
Feed #3: B, D
Feed #3: B
Feed #4: F, H Feed #4: D, F
Feed #5: H
Each panel can be a standard panel or an advanced panel. For each advanced panel, the monitor unit
measures current and fuse/CB status for each distribution device in the panel. Individual distribution devices
are not measured in a standard panel.
A load (in the consumption map) consists of a set of distribution devices (which can be collected together from
any panel in the bay).
A 2- or 3-pole circuit breaker is treated as one distribution device.
Summary: A bay consists of panels. The panels in a bay are grouped when they share the same feed. An
advanced panel consists of distribution devices. Distribution devices anywhere in the bay can be grouped
together as a load.
Alarm Severity Levels
The available alarms are programmed with an Alarm Severity Level. Each Alarm Severity Level has different
visual/audible alarm attributes. Available Alarm Severity Levels and their attributes are listed in Table 1.
Definition of the Alarm Severity Levels
Alarms can be assigned one of the following alarm severity levels.
•Critical Alarm: The fault endangers the systems continued function.
•Major Alarm: The fault reduces the systems functionality.

Vertiv |NetSure Monitor Unit User Manual (UM1M832DNA)|Rev. C

programmable time period. The audible alarm can also be disabled.
The available alarms can also be mapped to alarm relays (located on optional interface boards installed in the
system) that can be wired to external alarm circuits.
Data Logs
The monitor unit acquires and analyses real time data from the system's components.
The monitor unit uses this data to process alarms and also records data in logs. The logs are viewed using the
Web Interface and consists of the following. Logs can be saved in the .html (Web page) or .txt (text) format.
•Alarm History Log: Records 4000 latest alarms. The Web Interface displays the latest 500 items.
Alarm log contains a history of alarms. Alarms are added to the alarm log when the alarm condition no
longer exists.
•Event Log: Records 500 latest events. Event log contains a history of key parameter changes made by
Users via the LCD or web pages.
•Data History Log: Records 60000 latest history data. The Web Interface displays the latest 500 items.
Data History log contains historical values for key system data points.
•System Log: Records 3000 items in run log. The Web Interface displays the latest 500 items. System
log contains internal history to assist with field troubleshooting by Vertiv personnel.
