INTRODUCTION

iP1520

WEB BASED REMOTE POWER CONTROL

The Juice Goose iP1520 is a microcontroller based power distribution device
that can be accessed via intranet or internet communications using Ethernet or
RS232 connection. With this remote access, individual AC receptacles can be
turned on and off and AC power receptacles can be monitored for electrical
current flow.

The iP1520 has a 20 amp capacity and provides AC line conditioning and surge
protection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The iP1520 is to operate at 120 volts, 60 hertz. Operation with any voltage or
frequency other than that can damage the equipment and create an unsafe
situation.

CAUTION #1: This device must be grounded. If a power extension cord is re­quired, use a properly insulated and grounded cord. Failure to ground the de­vice could expose the user to dangerous electric shock.

CAUTION #2: This device should be installed only by qualified electrical techni­cians using appropriate mounting hardware and correct installation techniques.
When installing make sure main power is off before attaching the iP1520.

CAUTION #3: Do not expose the iP1520 to moisture or salty air. Doing so could
cause significant damage and create an unsafe condition.

DISCLAIMER

Juice Goose shall under no circumstances be held responsible for any losses,
damage, or injury resulting directly or indirectly from the use of the iP1520 de­vice in a manner contrary to accepted safe operating methods or any instruc­tions contained in this document. The user should determine prior to use
whether this product is adequate, suitable and safe for the application in­tended. Since individual applications can be subject to extreme variation Juice
Goose makes no representation or guarantee as to the suitability of the iP1520
for any generally described application.

QUICKSTART GUIDE

1. Unbox the unit. The box should contain: iP1520, manual, warranty card
and Juice Goose promotional material. You will need a CAT5 network ca­ble if attaching to a router, a CAT 5/6 crossover cable if connecting directly
to a PC and a custom RS232 cable if you wish do connect via RS232 (see
page 13 for a diagram on how to build the RS232 cable).

2. With your PC on and booted up, connect the iP1520 to your router or PC
using a suitable cable. If the iP1520 is connected to a network router use a
standard CAT 5 cable, if connected directly to a PC use a CAT 5/6 cross­over cable.

3. Plug the iP1520 power cord into a live AC receptacle, such as a wall
outlet, with a twenty amp capacity (i.e. NEMA 5-20R).

4. The iP1520 will take about 30 seconds to boot up and configure itself at
which point the Network light on the front of the unit will illuminate, indicat­ing network connectivity. If the Network light blinks or does not light at all
check the cable connections.

5. Open up your web browser and type in the following default IP address
to access the iP1520 : http://juicegoose.

6. At this point you will be prompted to log into the iP1520.
Initial login will be:

Username: admin
Password: juicegoose

7. You will be presented with the control section where you can control the
iP1520 PODS by clicking on the buttons or using the Sequence field by
entering the value in seconds and clicking the Sequence UP button.

8. To setup a specific IP address, change passwords for the admin/user
account or configure other advanced features of the iP1520 click on the
‘iP1520 Management’ link at the top right of the displayed page. You will
need to be logged in as admin to access this section. This section is de­scribed in more detail beginning on page 6.

See your system administrator, if you have one, for help with configuration.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES

ROCKER SWITCH - The primary intent is for the iP1520 to be controlled via a
remote RS 232 or Ethernet link. This switch serves as a fail safe control device in
the event a remote RS232 or Ethernet connection is not available or functioning.
Moving this switch to the UP position will cause the iP1520 to turn on the three
power PODs in a prescribed timed sequence. The default timing is two seconds
between each POD activation. This timing can be changed by accessing the on
board web server. Moving this switch to the DOWN position will cause the unit to
turn off the POD outlets in the reverse order.

RECESSED SLIDE SWITCH - As a second fail safe control point, this switch can
be used to manually turn on all POD outlets in the unlikely event of failure of the
control circuitry contained in the iP1520. This switch will turn on all POD outlets
simultaneously. When the switch is returned to it’s “off” position the iP1520 will
revert to the prior state the unit was in.

NETWORK LED - This LED will light up solid when the iP1520 is connected to an
Ethernet network connection. It will blink quickly when an Ethernet cable is at­tached but no network can be found. When no network cable is connected or

Page 3

when using RS232 the light will blink slowly indicating the unit is powered up.
POD LEDs - As each of the POD duplex receptacles on the back of the iP1520

turns on a corresponding LED on the front of the unit will light. Each LED will
turn off when the POD turns off.

BACK PANEL FEATURES

NETWORK (Ethernet) PORT - This RJ45 connector is for connecting to your
PC, router or local area network using a TCP/IP link.

RS232 PORT - This RJ11 connector can be used for remote control of the
iP1520 via RS232 protocol over distances not to exceed 50 feet.

PODs 1 -3 - There are three duplex receptacles on the back of the iP1520.
Each is rated for a maximum twenty amp load and each is controllable to turn
on or off independently of the others. When the on board sequencing process is
used POD 1 will turn on first, followed in order by POD 2 and POD 3. They will
turn of in reverse order using this same process.

UNSWITCHED OUTLET - This single outlet is rated for a maximum load of
twenty amps. It will have power any time the iP1520 is plugged into a live AC
receptacle.

DETAILED INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Unbox the unit. The box contains: the iP1520 unit, the iP1520 manual and a
warranty card .

Mount the iP1520 in a 19” wide rack with metal mounting rails, designed with

1.75” spacing. Use appropriate rack mounting hardware. Always power the
IP1520 on a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the grounding feature of the

iP1520 power cord.

SET UP DETAIL

Connecting to the iP1520 using a Router.
