1 Specifications

1.1Overview

The R-Series are rack level power distribution units (PDUs) with monitoring via a built-in web server. Web pages, including logging and graphs, are generated by the unit to monitor power and environmental conditions within the cabinet, several data formats are available. R-Series PDUs support optional external sensors and network cameras. These units can be built for installation in single-phase, three-phase Delta or Wye building wiring configurations. There are four families within the R-Series;

RCX, RCO, RCM-O and RCU-O.

6 R-Series PDU v4 Instruction Manual

2 Installation

2.1Guidelines

The ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater than 45°C.

Install the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is not compromised.

Mount the PDU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take into consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supplied wiring.

The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from overcurrent. A certified overcurrent protection device is required in the building installation. The overcurrent protection device should be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate ratings and local/national electrical code.

Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. The PDU must be connected to an earthed socket outlet.

PDU is intended for restricted-access locations. Only qualified service personnel should install and access the PDU.

For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so the input plug or appliance coupler may be disconnected for service.

The PDU is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the unit in wet or outdoor environments, and do not install it next to water tanks or plumbing.

The PDU is intended for use with TN, TT, or IT power supply systems.

Installation

1.Using appropriate hardware, mount unit to rack. (See next section for examples.)

2.Plug PDU into an appropriately-rated and protected branch-circuit receptacle.

3.Plug in the devices to be powered by the PDU.

4.Turn on each device connected to the PDU. Sequential power-up is recommended to avoid high inrush current.

3 Hardware

3.1Control Device

The R-Series PDUs have an advanced feature set for data centers that need full remote monitoring, logging and alarms with options for outlet level monitoring and switching control. The PDU supports multiple I/O options.

1.Remote Sensor Port (): Two RJ12 ports for connecting Geist plug-and-play remote sensors (sold separately). Splitters may be used to add additional sensors. Each sensor has a unique serial number and is automatically discovered. R- Series PDUs support up to sixteen sensors.

2.Serial Communication Port (): The R-Series PDUs provide an out-of-band, serial monitoring interface. The unit provides a RJ-45 port for RS-232 serial communication, providing support for Telnet and SSH via command line.

3.Remote Display Port (): An optional remote display (RSD2X8) can be connected to the R-Series PDU.

4.Ethernet Port (): RJ45 port for connecting the PDU to a TCP/IP network.

5.Network-Reset Button ():

Holding the network-reset button for 15 seconds during normal operation will restore the default IP address and reset the user accounts.

Holding the network-reset button during power-up will reset all of the unit's settings back to factory-default values.

6.Hard-Reboot Button (): Pressing the hard-reboot button reboots the monitoring device. This acts as a power-cycle for the device, and does not change or remove any user information. Note: This will NOT affect power to the connected devices.

7.Activity/Idle LEDs ()

8.Power Status LED ()

9.Local LCD Display: The local display scrolls through the values of the measurements selected on the LCD Display page.

For R-Series Switched PDUs, there is an LED next to each outlet providing feedback for the current state.
