Overview

3Overview

The PL-50Power Controller Monitor can control up to five power channels at a total load of 10A. The PL-50, by measuring and then monitoring the standby and active modes of the connected units, can detect whether a unit is in the standby mode, the active mode or is disconnected.

Two versions of the PL-50are available, a European version and a version for the USA.

The PL-50features include:

•PRESET LEVEL buttons, for measuring the STANDBY mode and the ACTIVE mode for reference

•A green ACTIVE LED and an orange STANDBY LED per channel, indicating the status of the outlet

•The ability to detect a change in the state of any of the channels and then trigger an alarm via the RELAY and Digital control terminal blocks that can be connected to an alarm or any other room activity

•Control via embedded Web pages, letting you schedule the activity of the outlet, set a response in case of an event, set the status of each channel separately, set the power ON/OFF order and delay, and so on

•An Ethernet port and a USB port for unit configuration and control

Control the PL-50using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:

•USB, RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

•ETHERNET

•The Kramer Infrared Remote Control Transmitter

To achieve the best performance:

•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and position your PL-50away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
