PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This 8-Port Managed DC Power Supply is a DC power splitter which can distribute up to
3 amps of 5, 12, 24 or 48 volt power to up to eight connected devices via 2-pin terminal
block connections (120 watts total across all 8 outputs) depending on the model. Ideal
for professional applications, this unit provides direct per-port power control via WebGUI,
Telnet or RS-232. An integrated, battery backed-up, clock allows for detailed power
scheduling based on a repeating daily/weekly schedule, or single events. Up to 2 fans may
be connected and their speed can be either automatically controlled based on a detected
temperature, or set to a single static speed. Detailed status information about the power
input, each power output, current fan speed, and system temperature is provided to give a
comprehensive system overview.

(1) Power In: Displays the voltage, current, and wattage of the unit’s main power supply.
(2) Power Out: Displays the voltage, current and wattage of each of the 8 individual power
outputs.
(3) System Temperature: Displays the unit’s temperature as measured at 3 locations inside
the case on the PCB.
(4) System Fan: Displays the current state of 2 external fans (optional) including individual
fan RPM, and the current fan speed thresholds, if auto mode is enabled.
Device Settings
This tab provides controls for all 8 power output ports as well as control over the optional
external fans’ speed and temperature thresholds.
WEB GUI CONTROL
(1) Power Out: This section provides control over each individual power output. The outputs
may be turned on, turned o, and renamed.
(2) Fan Setting: This section provides controls for any connected fans. When Auto Fan Mode is
enabled the fan speed will be controlled based on the three user-defined
temperature thresholds and speed selections. The preferred fan speed at each
threshold is also user configurable. If Auto Fan Mode is disabled, the fan speed
can be set as a static percentage of maximum power. If two fans are connected
to the unit, both will follow the same settings.
Note: The highest of the three System Temperature measurements is used to determine which
Auto Fan Mode speed (low, middle, or high) is active when Auto Fan Mode is enabled.
