OUTLET MANAGED PDU

7.Branch A Current Usage: A bank of ten LEDs which light to indicate total current usage on Power Circuit A. The first LED will light when 0% to 9% of maximum rated current for the power circuit is being used, and the last LED will blink when over 100% of the maximum rated current for the power circuit is being used.

8.Branch B Current Usage: Same as Item 7 above, except displays values for Power Circuit B. (Not present on MPSH8-S20-120V and MPSH8-S20-208+V models.)

3.2.Outlet Managed PDU-H Series - Back Panel

As shown in Figure 3.2, the Outlet Managed PDU Back Panel includes the following components:

1.Power Circuit A - Power Inlet: An IEC320-C20 AC inlet which supplies power to Outlet Managed PDU control functions and the Circuit "A" outlets. Also includes cable keeper (not shown.)

Note:

MPSH8-S20-120V and MPSH8-S20-208+V models feature a single Power Inlet.

2.Power Circuit B - Power Inlet: An IEC320-C20 AC inlet which supplies power to Outlet Managed PDU control functions and the Circuit "B" outlets. Also includes cable keeper (not shown.) (Not present on MPSH8-S20-120V and MPSH8-S20-208+V models.)

3.Power Circuit A - Switched Outlets: AC Outlets that can be switched On, Off, rebooted or set to default state in response to user commands.

4.Power Circuit B - Switched Outlets: Same as Item 3 above. (Not present on MPSH8-S20-120V and MPSH8-S20-208+V models.)

5.Alarm Indicator Lights: Two LEDs which light when an alarm condition is detected at the corresponding power circuit. Note that MPSH8-S20-120V and MPSH8-S20-208+V models only include one power circuit and one Alarm Indicator Light. For information on Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7.
