RPS with or without Ethernet
Connection Description
BayTech's RPS Series unit provides a Serial EIA232 interface that controls user access and outlet
controls to the power strip.
CAUTION: All power should be removed from the BayTech unit prior to removing or
installing cables and /or adapters.
EIA-232 SERIAL CONNECTION
The RPS has an RJ-45 port which uses an 8-pin crossed modular cable to connect to a local EIA-232
device such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45
connections; therefore an adapter is provided with this unit to convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ45 connector (Bay Tech Part No. 9FRJ45PC-4). An adapter to convert from a DB-25 connector to an
RJ-45 connector is also available from Bay Tech, upon request (Bay Tech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-4).
The 8-pin crossed modular cable is configured to operate with these adapters.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Compare the unit and serial number of the equipment you received to the packing slip located on the
outside of the box. Inspect equipment carefully for damage that may have occurred in shipment. If
there is damage to the equipment or if materials are missing, contact BayTech technical support at 228-
563-7334 or call toll free inside the United States at 800-523-2702. At a minimum, you should receive
the following:
1. The RPS unit.
2. Manual insert describing the location of the User’s Guide on BayTech’s website at
www.baytech.net.
3. Power Cords that may be attached to the unit (if order requested detachable cords).
4. 1 ea. DE-9 (9 pin) PC com port adapter -- 9FRJ45PC (with Cisco Interface) or 9FRJ45PC-1.
5. 1 ea. RJ-45 Roll over cable -- RJ08X007.
NOTE: Keep the shipping container and packing material in the event future shipment is
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION SITE
The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient
space behind the RPS unit for cabling and receptacle connections.
POWER
required.
• 120 VAC Model: Internal 120 VAC 60 Hz (15, 20 or 30 Amps Maximum Load).
• 230 VAC Model: Internal 230 VAC 60 Hz (10, 15, 16, 20, 30, or 32 Amps Maximum Load).
CAUTION: This unit is intended for indoor use only. Do not install near water or expose this
unit to moisture. To prevent heat buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use
extension cords. Do not attempt to make any internal changes to the power source. Do not
attempt to modify any portion or component of an RPS Series Unit unless specifically directed
to by BayTech personnel. BayTech must perform any internal operations.
CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this equipment. To protect from
such power surges and spikes, this unit must have a good earth ground or good power surge

protection.
CAUTION: In order to be absolutely removed from the power supply, the power cord must be
unplugged from the power source.
CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible
disconnect device (Circuit Breaker rated not to exceed the amperage rating of the unit) shall be
incorporated in the fixed wiring between the power source and the Baytech unit. For
PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily
accessible. The outlets providing power to the unit shall be protected against over current and
short circuit by suitable rated protective devices.
Applying power illuminates a green LED on the front panel of the RPS. When the power
switch is off, devices connected to the unit are not receiving power.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Depending on if the unit has circuit breakers, in the case of power overload, the circuit breaker
automatically trips. Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct the problem then reset
the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker switch. If an overload condition occurs, the RPS
status menu is still accessible. If all circuits are closed, the circuit breaker status menu will indicate
“On.” If the circuit breaker is tripped, the circuit breaker status will indicate “Off.” If no power cord is
attached to the “IN” receptacle, the circuit breaker status will indicate “Off”, indicating there is no
power available to the “OUT” receptacle.
