RPS Series - Remote Power Switches; Quick Start Guide

2.Hardware Installation

This Quick Start Guide assumes that you have already powered up your IOLAN Device Server according to the Device Server's Quick Start Guide.

2.1. Applying Power to the RPS

Refer to power rating nameplate on the RPS back panel, and then connect the RPS unit to an appropriate power source. RPS830 and RPS1630H units should be connected to a 100 to 120 VAC power supply, and RPS820 and RPS1620H units should be connected to a 208 to 240 VAC power supply.

CAUTION: Make certain to review the safety precautions listed in Section 4.1 in the User's Guide and at the beginning of this Quick Start Guide.

Note that RPS units feature two separate AC inputs. Connect power supply cables to the RPS’s Circuit "A" and Circuit "B" inlets, and then connect the cables to an appropriate power supply. The RPS830 and RPS1630H will support up to 20 Amps maximum per power circuit, for a total load of 40 Amps. The RPS820 and RPS1620H will support up to 16 Amps maximum per power circuit, for a total load of 32 Amps.

The ON LED should light, and the RDY LED should begin to flash. This indicates that the RPS is ready to receive commands.

2.2. Connecting the Device Server to the RPS

To securely manage the RPS, configure the Device Server as follows:

1.Set the Line Service (Profile) to Power Management for the line that is connected to the RPS serial port.

2.Plug the CAT5 cable into the Console port on the RPS.

3.Connecting the Adapter to the IOLAN:

(a)For IOLAN Models: Plug the RJ-45M to RJ45F Adapter (Part No. 1100219-10) into the serial port on the IOLAN that will be configued for Power Management. (See Section 3.)

(b)For IOLAN Model C and CM: Plug the RJ-45M to RJ45F Adapter (Part No. 1100320-10) into the serial port on the IOLAN C and CM that will be configured for Power Management. (See Section 3.)

4.Connect the CAT5 cable to the Adapter.
