PDU Display Interface: Panel Screen
Panel Configuration
Configure the branch metering settings for each circuit breaker on the distribution panel, or configure both panels simultaneously. To configure a circuit breaker, select the range that includes the circuit breaker. The selections on the top line on the screen apply
to the top distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The selections on the bottom line apply to the bottom distribution circuit breaker panel on the PDU. The panel position numbers on the screen correspond to the numbers on the distribution panel. (Odd numbers are on the left; even numbers are on the right.) Once you have selected the correct range, configure the settings for each circuit breaker in the range:
Pos: The panel positions in the selected range.
Breaker: Two configurable items:
•The circuit breaker rating, in amps
•The circuit breaker tie indicator: Define the number of panel positions tied (i.e., associated). You can associate positions with circuit breakers, which enables you to view status information about each circuit breaker and receive an alarm notification when any of a circuit breaker’s poles are above or below the configured branch circuit limit. You can also tie together panel positions that are logically associated. For example, you can tie together panel positions for three separate circuit breakers that are connected to the same PDU power cord and that feed power to the same equipment enclosure.
To configure the values on this screen:
1.From the first column, use the arrow keys to scroll up or down to the pole position you want to configure.
2.Press the ENTER key to move to the item you want to configure in the third column (the circuit breaker rating or the circuit breaker tie indicator).
3.Scroll again to select the value you want for the circuit breaker rating or the circuit breaker tie indicator. To associate one panel position with the next position in the list, choose the + character as the tie indicator immediately following the circuit breaker rating. To indicate that the position is not associated with (tied to) the next panel position in the list, choose the ] character as the tie indicator immediately following the circuit breaker rating. When you change the + or ] character that follows the circuit breaker rating in one row, the + or [ character before the circuit breaker rating in the next row also changes to indicate the changed association between the panel positions.
