4.6. Connecting the Optional MPC-DISPLAY Unit

Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the optional MPC-DISPLAY unit to the MPC unit. Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the “Remote” connector on the MPC front panel; connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 receptacle on the back side of the MPC-DISPLAY unit as described in Appendix C.2.

The MPC-DISPLAY unit will receive five volts of power (for operation) via the RJ-45 cable connected to the MPC unit.

To display amperage, kilowatts, volts and temperature for the MPC units that are attached to the MPC-DISPLAY, press the “Display” button to toggle to the LED for the desired MPC unit, and then press the “Display Selection” button several times to select the desired reading; each time the “Display Selection” button is pressed, the LED indicator adjacent to the button will toggle from Amps to Kilowatts to Volts to Temperature.

4.7. Rack Mounting

MPC-H Series Units: To install an MPC-H Series (horizontal format) unit in your equipment rack, simply attach the L-Brackets included with the unit and then mount the unit in a vacant space in your equipment rack as described in Appendix E.1.
