8-way switched PDU for reducing power consumption, for remote maintenance and for environmental monitoring With the new IP switched sockets, the power consumption of the installation can be effectively reduced: The collective switching off of consumers, even in standby mode, as well as the integrated energy meters help to ensure sustainable operation of the infrastructure. In addition, the operator receives warning messages when fault currents occur. This enables preventive maintenance measures to be taken even before downtimes occur. The PDUs have 8 BS1363 (UK) load outputs on the rear. This allows connected devices to be switched off and on in the event of a fault. This is also possible in particular via media controls and DCIM solutions. Defined threshold values also ensure that event-based switching processes can be initiated. Two integrated sensor connections for optionally available sensors allow monitoring of ambient temperature, humidity and air pressure. System-critical conditions are thus detected at an early stage. Thanks to hot-pluggable sensors, commissioning with the Expert Power Control series is completed quickly.
