Installation

Guidelines



If the PDU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater

than

the PDU’s maximum rated operating temperature

.Inst

all 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 over

-

current

protection and supply wiring.



The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from over

-

current

conditions

. A

Listed circuit breake

r is required

with

in the building installation. The circuit breaker should

be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate ratings and local/national electrical code

s

.



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.



The

PDU is intended for Restricted Access Location

s only and o

nly service personnel should

install and access the PD

U.For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so

that

the input plug or appliance coupler may be

disconnected for service.



Sequential power

-

up via Power

-

On Actions of devices powered by

the

PDU is recommended

to avoid high inrush current. See

Power

-

On Actions

(page

38

) for details.



Caution:

Disconnect all power cords before servicing.

The unit is capable of any combination of the above alarms at once. Alarm type combinations

are selected per alarm via the check boxes which are displayed for each alarm on the Al

arms

page.

Alarm Types

The7M,7N,7S

and7Wprovide

three

types of alarm messages via E

-

Mail and SNMP:



Trip:

Occurs when a sensor value goes above a high trip threshold

or below a low trip

threshold.



Unplugged:

Occurs when a sensor with an alarm set loses contact with the main unit due

to the sensor being physically unplugged or another communications error.

Unplugged

alerts can be enabled or disabled on the

Alarm

s

page

.Clear:

Occurs when a sensor already in the Tripped or Unplugged state goes back into its

normal range.

Alarms can be added for each

internal device

or

external sensor displayed on the

Alarms

page.

An alarm is added by pressing the “Add New Alarm Button

” and selecting the sensor value to be

monitored from

the

drop down menu.

Thresholds

The user

must

set

a trip threshold and type for each alarm that is added to the

Alarms

page.

The threshold type is chosen as either “

Below

” or “

Above

” from a drop down

menu when the

alarm is created. The threshold value is typed into a data window when the alarm is created.

Alarms are triggered based on the

selected sensor’s data and the trip threshold type and value.

Alarm settings can be edited or deleted at any tim

e.

A

nalysis of each unit is recommended before setting alarm

threshold

s

as some of the values

monitored by the unit are relative values, whose scale will differ slightly between units. Allow

each unit to operate under normal, steady state conditions

for several hours before setting

36

alarm thresholds.

By allowing the sensors to operate for several hours, the user can better

understand what the normal variations are; thereby allowing the user to choose alarm

thresholds that will not trigger numerous fal

se alarms.

Alarms can be set to only send notification

if the a

larm is in a tripped state for a certain amount

of time. The user sets the

amount of time required

by entering a value from 0

-

240 minutes in

the text box

on the

Alarms

page.

Additionally,

alarm notifications can be set to send multiple

notifications for an alarm that remains in a tripped state. The alarm notifications are set to

repeat at intervals of no repeat, 10, 30, or 60 minutes by selecting the desired option in the

drop down menu o

n the

Alarms

page.

Note:

Changes in settings take a few moments to become active. Rapidly resetting alarm values may not

provide the desired results. Allow up to 2 minutes after changing a setting before modifying it again.

Sensors

Overview

All inter

nal sensors are measured every 15 seconds. External sensors are measured every 15

to 30 seconds

,

depending on the

number

of devices connected. Sensor data collected by the

7M,7N,7Sor7Wunit

gives useful trend analysis data. While all values are not

absolute in

relation to a known unit, trend analysis of the data allows users to view changes and draw

useful conclusions about what is happening

over time

in the monitored environment.

Note:

DM series units are connected as sensors and collect a large am

ount of data

.These will take

longer

than the usual 15 to 30 second for the

7M,

7N,

7S or 7W

units to measure.

Internal Sensors

The

7M,

7N,

7S and 7W

units

contain

internal sensors that are configured in two different ways

:

and outlet level data

(7Wonly)

. The

Log

ging

page allows

the user to select

data to be logged. The user can also

choose to view a graph of any logged data

.

Selected sensor values are logged into the data

file at a rate of one point per minute

.

The number of selected sensors determines the

maximum data loggin

g time span.

This period is calculated and displayed on the

Logging

page.

The oldest data will be deleted w

hen the onbo
