Configuration and Operation continued

Quick Test

After installing the PDU and connecting equipment, you may test the Automatic Transfer Switch function by temporarily shutting down the UPS system connected to the Primary AC input. When the Primary input UPS is no longer supplying AC power, the PDU will switch from the Primary input to the Secondary input, and the Secondary input LED will illuminate. When the Primary input UPS has been restarted and resumes supplying AC power, the PDU will switch back to the Primary input.

Primary Input Active

Secondary Input Active

Note: The primary and secondary inputs must be connected to separate sources of utility power. The automatic transfer switch function will be compromised if the primary and secondary inputs are connected to the same utility power source. Do not perform a test with equipment that must remain in productive operation. Any test procedure must prepare for the contingency that the equipment may lose power. Do not test the PDU by detaching power cords which are connected to live power sources, as this eliminates the connection to ground and places your equipment at risk.

Remote Monitoring and Control

The PDU provides remote monitoring A , outlet control B and more via Web browser, telnet and SNMP-based Network Management Systems. For more information about configuration and operation of the PDU via the PowerAlert Web browser interface, refer to the SNMPWEBCARD User's Guide, included on the CD-ROM bundled with the PDU.
