Western Telematic MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VD20-1, MPC-20VS20-2 MPC-V Series - Hardware Description

Unit Description

5.Power Circuit B - Switched Outlets: Same as Item 4 above. (Not present on MPC-18H series units.)

6.Power Circuit B - Circuit Breaker(s): Same as Item 3 above. (Not present on MPC-18H series units.)

7.Alarm Indicator Lights: Two LEDs which light when an alarm condition is detected at the corresponding power circuit. For information on Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7. Note that MPC-18H series units include only one Alarm Indicator Light.

8.Network Port: An RJ45 Ethernet port for connection to your 100Base-T, TCP/IP network. Note that the MPC features a default IP address (192.168.168.168). This allows you to connect to the unit without first assigning an IP address. Note that the Network Port also includes two, small LED indicators for Link and Data Activity. For more information on Network Port configuration, please refer to Section 5.9.

2.3.MPC-V Series - Hardware Description

As shown in Figure 2.3, MPC-V Series units include the following components:

1.Default Button: This button can be used to either reset the unit to default parameters or to perform several other functions, as described in Section 2.4.

2.Audible Alarm Button and LED: Two LEDs which light when an alarm condition is detected at the corresponding power circuit. For information on Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7. Please refer to Section 2.4 for additional button functions Note that MPC-V series units that include only one power inlet will also include only one Alarm LED.

3.Display Selection Button and Indicators: Determines which measurement will appear on the Digital Displays for Circuits A and B. Each time the Display Selection Button is pressed, the Digital Displays will toggle between Amps, Kilowatts, Volts, Temperature, Total Kilowatts and Total Amps. When either "Total Kilowatts" or "Total Amps" are selected, the MPC will display the total for Circuits A and B combined. An LED indicator will light to show which measurement is currently selected. Please refer to Section 2.4 for additional button functions. Note that the "Total Kilowatts and "Total Amps" displays are not available on all MPC-V series units, and that MPC-V series units that include only one power inlet, will also include only one Digital Display.

4.Link Ports: Four RJ45 connectors, which can be used to link the MPC unit to up to three other MPC units, plus the optional MPC-DISPLAY, status display panel. When your MPC unit is linked to other MPC units, this allows control of up to four MPC units (one local unit, plus three remote units) via one IP address. If necessary, the Link Ports can also be reconfigured as RS232 serial ports (as described in Section 5.8.2) to allow communication with attached devices. The MPC includes three AUX Ports and one Remote Port; the remote port is intended for connection to the MPC-DISPLAY unit, and the AUX Ports are intended for connection to additional MPC units.
