parameters with a simple,
graphic user interface accessed
through an on-board color
display or web pages supported
by all major browsers.
y Numerous connectivity options
that support integration into a
wide variety of networks – IPv4,
IPv6, Modbus, SNMP, TL1, EEM,
YDN23 and dual network port
option for permanent and local
craft port connections.
y Leverage advanced battery and
generator management controls,
including soft start, time controls,
starter battery check with
recharge, bad-grid equalization
recovery, current limiting, fuel
monitoring with theft alarms and
support for multiple battery
technologies, including lithium.
y Rapidly turn-up system
with easily uploaded/
downloaded pre-programmed
configuration files.

The advanced NetSure™ Control Unit (NCU) from Vertiv
takes remote monitoring and control to the next level with
a user-friendly color interface, secure connectivity, data
statistics and multiple communication options.
Description
The NetSure Control Unit (NCU)
is an advanced controller designed
for a wide range of DC power applications,
enabling remote monitoring and control
of modern communication sites.
The factory-installed (standard) or
field-added NCU is backward compatible
with existing NetSure™ power systems,
controlling all aspects of the power chain,
including AC mains, DC power plant,
battery backup, diesel generator, and
the local site environment. The addition
of optional interface boards enables
the user to access an even greater set
of site parameters.
Battery management features include
temperature compensation, thermal
runaway management, recharge current
limit, reserve time prediction, and optional
midpoint monitoring. Battery testing
options include scheduled battery
testing and short duration battery
testing. Thresholds for battery current
measurement, detailed alarms, inventory
management and three LVD levels can
be programmed easily through the
controller. Control of rectifiers (24V, 48V
and 400V) and converters (24V, 48V,
400V and solar) is possible in this
convenient pluggable module.
Network element management support
for data communication is also available
via standard protocols, such as SNMP
version 2 or 3, or Modbus. In addition,
Modbus device integration for many
industry standard monitoring devices is
now possible with the versatile NCU
controller.
Patented Intelligent Load Management
from Vertiv enables you to see power
usage down to the fuse or circuit breaker
level. To prevent site overload, load levels
of each rack can be measured in relation
to rack capacity. Rack load monitoring
requires optional system distribution
measurement devices for the fuse or
circuit breaker positions.
M830B
Expanded information and alarm data can
be monitored or controlled via password
protected and encrypted web browsers,
including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google
Chrome, and Apple Safari.
