iP 1520-RX
Web Based Power Controller
General Description
The iP 1520-RX combines microcontroller based power management with the proven performance of Juice Goose RX
Series surge protection and filtration. This unit can be accessed via Inte rnet or intranet communications using HTML,
TCP/IP, UDP or RS232 so that individua l AC receptacles can be turned on and off and monitored for electrical current
flow.
Features
This product features high quality design and construction as well as the most important functions needed for web
based remote control. iP1520-RX can be used to sequence audio equipment on and off, reduce energy consumption by
scheduling equipment to be on only when needed, or remote reboot DSPs or other processor based electron ics. The
Power Cycle
Each duplex can be individuall y controlled to turn on and off. And ea ch is individually metered to report current f low.
The front of the chassis includes status LEDs and override switches that allow local monitoring and control.
Proven Power Protection
Published test results prove the effectiveness of the power protection circuitry contained in the iP 1520-RX and other RX
Series based products. Visit our web site or contact Juice Goose for test results.
This RX power protection technology is particularly valuable because it works against common mode as well as normal
mode events. While it protec ts against dramatic surge events of up to 6,000 volts at 3,000 amps on hot and neutral
(normal mode), it also limits ground line (common mode) surges to one-half (0.50) volt to prevent operating faults of digital processing equipment.
Power protection circuitr y in the iP 1520-RX includes a di fferential transformer, lots of filtering capacitance and control
circuitry providing protection from dangerous surges, high frequency interference, building wiring faults and over voltage.
RX technology is proven to deliver protection comparable to an isolation transf o rm e r.
Communications and Control
All the functions of the iP 1520-RX can be accessed through Ethernet or RS232 ports on the back of the chassis. An onboard web server gives the product immediate Internet functionality through a graphic interface that can be accessed via
a web browser. Or it can be controlled throug h text commands using a terminal program or a third party control system.
A Crestron module is also available for this product.
SNMP Communications
Special iP15 Series products are available with an SNMP command platform. Those units do not feature current monitoring capability or communications via HTML, UDP or TCP. Contact Juice Goose for additional details.
feature can be used to automatically reboot a network data router if network communication is lost.

Monitoring
The iP 1520-RX allows local and remote monitoring of the operating status of the unit and of connected
equipment. The front of the chassis features a white LED that indicates connection to a data network. This
light stays on during active network connection and blinks in the event of Ethernet communications failure or
RS232 connection. In addition, lighting each of three power POD LEDs on the front of the chassis indicates a
corresponding duplex receptacle has been turned on.
This unit can also be remote monitored via the same communications connection used to control it. Current
metering on each of the Power Pods reports amperage levels from 0.20 to 20.0 amps and can be accessed
through the on-board web server or via raw TCP, UDP or RS232 protocol.
