PDU Port Connections
This faceplate is OvrC enabled. To unlock the faceplate features
in OvrC, you must connect it to a compatible 800 series WattBox
PDU on firmware version 2.2.0.8 or newer.
Note: The WB-800CH1U-IPVM-8 is not compatible.
You can connect up to three 800 series PDUs to the faceplate. We recommend using TIA-568B pinout cables no
longer than 15’.

Connect one end of the cable to the gray Accessory port of the PDU, and the other end of the cable to the
faceplate’s green PDU port.
Pro Tip: Set the Outlet Mode to Disabled for the outlet the faceplate is connected to, in OvrC. This ensures
the faceplate does not lose power when resetting all outlets of the connected 800 series WattBox.
If you’re connecting the faceplate to a WB-800-IPVM-12, use the dedicated Accessory outlet on the
back of the PDU.
Once the faceplate and 800 series WattBox PDU are connected, firmware updates are automatically pushed
from the WattBox connected to PDU port 1. During this update process the LEDs turn o and the faceplate is
unresponsive. Allow five minutes for the update to complete.
Warning: You must connect a PDU to PDU port 1 to keep the faceplate’s firmware up-to-date.

a. Blinks – The Current display is showing the selected PDU’s current draw in amps (A).
b. Solid – The Current display shows the aggregate of all connected PDUs.
6. Button 1 – Sequences through PDUs 1 through 3 and Total (left to right) displaying the Current for the
specified PDU. Aggregate of all PDUs display when landing on Total. This button is also used to reset

As you sequence through the PDUs, the corresponding PDU LED flashes to indicate which PDU number you are on.
The displays show the corresponding Current for the PDU specified.
Note: The LED light flashes on the specified PDU for 5 minutes, during this time the display windows show
the Current for the selected PDU. Once the 5 minutes has expired, the faceplate defaults back to
displaying the aggregate Total of all the connected PDUs.
