1.Introduction of Series Models Introduction The RKP-CMU1 is a dedicated monitor unit for RCP-2000 series. It provides the management task of RCP-2000 for using in telecommunication, monitoring systems, servers, etc. It can be stand-alone operated or integrated into a 19-inch rack.
ON/OFF" must be opened from +5V-AUX to avoid interfering in RKP-CMU1's proper operation. 3.2 LED Indicators and LCD User Interface There are LED indicators on the front panel of the RKP-CMU1 that are used to display system operating status. Refer to Table 3-2 for details. Status Description Power on indicator of RKP-CMU1.
3.4 Real Time Clock, Data Log and Event Log The RKP-CMU1 has a built-in real time clock to display actual date/time for log timestamp. The Data Log is used to store the operating data of the rack power system. It has 1000 records and the interval of log is programmable from 1 to 60 minutes.
3.7 PMBus Communication Interface The RKP-CMU1 is equipped with all the PMBus commands that RCP-2000 needs. This makes it easy for users to monitor, manage, and control their RCP-2000 power systems by means of the LCD user interface or the Windows based user interface. Moreover, the unit is compliant with PMBus Rev.

3.7.3 PMBus Data Range and Tolerance All of the PMBus data are fully digitalized. The RKP-CMU1 uses the data read from RCP-2000 units to display their operating values and control these units. Please refer to the definition of RCP-2000, as shown below, for Display / Control tolerance.
3.Using the RKP-CMU1 to reduce PSU current will just limit output current of RCP-2000 units and will not trigger their over-current alarm. Take RCP-2000-48 as an example, the over-current protection threshold is 47A when operating at 230Vac.

Figure 3-2 Configuration of a RKP-1U-CMU1 and two RKP-1Us 3.9.3 Using RKP-CMU1 to monitor RKP-1Us ◎RKP-CMU1 is capable of monitoring and controlling up to tree RKP-1Us (nine RCP-2000 units). Please refer to the user's manual of RCP-2000/RKP-1U and Figure 3-3 for notes on parallel operation of RKP-1Us.
3.10 Series Operation The RKP-CMU1 is specifically designed to monitor, manage, and control RCP-2000 units in parallel. As a result, it cannot be used for RCP-2000 units connected in series. If you do need this application, contact our distributors or MEANWELL for details.
Under the "Status Menu", status information, including Bus voltage, total output current, numbers of PSUs in parallel, PSU current, PSU temperature, PSU status, PSU serial number, PSU manufacture date, PSU firmware version, condition of digital input signal, condition of programmable relay, date, and RKP-CMU1 information, can be selected through the "UP"/"DOWN" buttons. 4.3.1 Bus Voltage...

(Default: ON Buzzer) 4.4.9 RKP-CMU1 Address Setting In the "RKP-CMU1 address" section, you can set RKP-CMU1's address by pressing the "ENT" button. (Default: 1) 4.5 Maintenance Menu A password is required to enter this menu.
Each RKP-CMU1 unit has a different MAC address, and the address is assigned by the internal hardware. 4.6.2 IP Address IP address can be changed by the built-in web page, but doing so requires the RKP-CMU1 and the PC you use in the same domain. (Default IP: 169.254.1.1) 4.6.3 Subnet Mask...
RJ-45 cable ◎Before accessing the built-in web page, please make sure that the RKP-CMU1 and the PC you use are set in the same domain. If this is the first time you access the built-in web page, you will need to change the IP address of your PC. Once you connected the built-in web page, change of the RKP-CMU1's address settings (like to another domain) can be done.
Page 25
(4) Check if it is working correctly by clicking the "Support". If the addresses presented as you typed, it is successfully done. Then you can access the built-in web page. If the table shows as below, it means that your RJ-45 cable is not properly connected or the IP address you have set is incorrect.
Connect your PC to the RKP-CMU1, then open a blank page and type the IP address of the RKP-CMU1 in the address bar. If you are not sure the IP address of RKP-CMU1, refer to the LCD user interface. The route is "Main Page" → "Menu Page" →...

5.2.3 PSU Status Page The "PSU Status" page displays the operating information of each PSU, including output current, internal temperature, serial number, firmware version, alarm, and status. 5.2.4 Configuration Page Once you clicked the "Configuration" page, you will be asked to enter a user name and a password. Type "meanwell" (small letters) in both the "User name"...
Page 28
Once you insert the correct user name and password, you will enter the settings page. On this page, there are Bus voltage, PSU over-current, clear Event Log/Data Log, Data Log time interval setting, programmable relay setting, and PSU ON/OFF that can be set and altered. 5.2.4.1 Bus Voltage / PSU Current If the Bus voltage/PSU current you set is not within the adjustable range, it will become invalid.
If a status bar displays "N/A", it cannot be controlled due to non-connection to the RKP-CMU1. Turning the whole PSU units on or off is also possible by clicking the "ALL PSU ON"/ "ALL PSU OFF"...
5.4 Data Log Page The Data Log will save operating data at regular intervals set by "Data log interval". The Data Log is capable of saving 1000 records, but if the stored data is over its capacity, it will overwrite the previous data, from the first record. The contents that Data Log stores include AC voltage, relay condition, condition of digital input signal, output voltage, total output current, each PSU's currents, and time.
DNS, and secondary DNS that can be set and changed. For example, if the RKP-CMU1 is not in your current domain, you can revise it to your current domain by changing those IP address parameters.
The RKP-CMU1 not only can use USB interface for PC connection, but also can use the RS-232 interface. There is a RS-232 port (Male) on the rear of the RKP-CMU1, you can use a DB9 Female - DB9 Female cable for connection between the RKP-CMU1 and your PC.

After reading from the RKP-CMU1, the data will be arranged in ascending order of Log No.. Sorting the data into other orders is also possible by clicking the column headers. Clicking the "Save Log" button can save the data onto your PC.
Page 38
Sorting data can be done by clicking a column header Save button Chart button This page also offers a function that presents the Data log data in column charts by clicking the "Chart" button. Once column charts are created, tendency of the data can be seen on your PC. Except for "Vbus" and "Iout" that are fixed on the page, others like I0~I7 (PSU0~7 Iout), I8~I15 (PSU8~15 Iout), I16~I31 (PSU16~31 Iout), and Vac max/min (the maximum/ minimum AC input) can be selected by the "scroll-down list".
(1) Insert a SIM card into your GSM modem. Make sure that there is no PIN (Personal Identification Number) recorded in the SIM card. (2) After installing a GSM antenna to your GSM modem and connecting an interface cable between the RKP-CMU1 and your GSM modem, turn the GSM modem on.
(1) Turn devices on in the following order: RCP-2000, RKP-CMU1, and then GSM modem. (2) Unplug the power of the RCP-2000. (3) In this case, there is a "PMBus Error" alarm that will occur. Then, you should receive a text message sent by the RKP-CMU1 after a few seconds.
◎Mount the RKP-CMU1 in a 19" rack before operating. ◎Connect the RKP-CMU1 to a JK1 port of a rack unit. Also, make sure that the JK1 ports are connected together if there are more than 2 rack units. Refer to Figure 3.3.
