Bay Technical Associates DS2-RPC Configuration Menu, Display Current Electrical Characteristics

DS-RPC Manual

The REBOOT n command will reboot or reset equipment attached to corresponding receptacle(s). When the command to REBOOT (n) is sent from the DS-RPC > prompt, the DS powers ‘Off’ the corresponding outlet(s) for approximately 10 seconds, then powers them ‘On’ in sequence.

This command only works on outlets which were ‘On’ prior to receiving the reboot command.

The LOCK n command is an admin user only command. This command allows the admin user to lock an outlet in its current state. The user assigned to the outlet will not be able to change the outlet’s state.

Example: To lock Outlet 1, type lock 1 from the DS-RPC prompt. The unit responds with:

DS-RPC>lock 1,

Lock Outlet 1 (Y/N)? y

Type “Y” for yes locks Outlet 1. Observe the status of Outlet 1 has changed to ‘Locked’ in the status menu. Likewise, typing ‘LOCK ALL’, ‘LOCK 0’, or ‘LOCK’ at the DS-RPC > prompt and responding “Y” for yes, locks all outlets. The UNLOCK n command work similarly as the LOCK n command.

Configuration Menu

The Outlet Configuration Menu allows the ‘admin’ user to manage the Users, Outlet Name, Confirmation menu, Status menu, Unit ID, and Alarm threshold.

Display Current Electrical Characteristics:

To display the unit’s True RMS Current and Peak RMS Current, type ‘current’ at the prompt and the DS responds:

DS-RPC>current

True RMS Current: 0.1 Amps Maximum Detected: 0.3 Amps

To clear the Peak RMS Current, type ‘clear’ at the prompt, the DS responds with the display of the status menu with the new maximum detected current.

DS-RPC>clear
Average Power: 0 Watts	Apparent Power: 28 VA

To display the unit’s True RMS Voltage, type ‘voltage’ at the prompt and the DS responds:

DS-RPC>voltage

True RMS Voltage: 124.6 Volts

To display the unit’s current temperature, type ‘temp’ at the prompt and the DS responds:

DS-RPC>temp

Internal Temperature: 25.5 C
