Chapter 1 - Physical Representation

Powerview User Interface

The Powerview incorporates a 4 x 20 alphanumeric LCD screen with four navigation keys, four LED status indicators, and an audible alarm beeper. The display communicates with the Power Array via a local RJ45 connector cable that is hardwired into the top power module bay. It can be mounted on the front of the frame, stand on top of the frame, or it can be installed at a remote location. (A 20’ RJ45 cable is provided, and plugs into a communication port at the rear of the frame.) The alphanumeric LCD screen displays system status, fault reporting and module diagnostics information. The naviga- tion keys are used to scroll through an elaborate menu. Chap- ter 6 provides detailed information about the Powerview.

Alarm thresholds and parameters are set with the Powerview. In the event of an alarm condition, the Powerview emits both audible and visual alarm indicators.

Louvered Grill Covers

Each level of the frame is equipped with a louvered grill cover. These covers are interchangable, and snap securely onto the frame. When removing, temporarily storing, and replacing grill covers, use care to prevent them from being marred or scratched.

Power Module

The power module is a self-contained, 4kVA UPS (without batteries) housed inside a metal enclosure. A blind mating connector at the rear of the module engages with a connector inside the frame, and powers the unit. Power modules are installed in the vertical column of bays at the left of the frame. These bays are labelled L1, L2, L3, etc.
