In the sections below, a startup process is described suitable for first-time network setup, or running without the software. The breaker(s) can be used to manually cut power from the outlets. However, even with the circuit breaker(s) Off, as soon as the inlet of the PDU is plugged into a live facility outlet, the control system of the PDU is powered, and the software will start running. 3.1.1 Startup Without Configuring the Software It is assumed the PDU is not plugged into the facility power source. 1. Switch all breakers on the PDU control panel to the Off position. 2. If there is a facility disconnect switch for the PDU inlet, switch that Off. 3. Insert the PDU’s inlet connector into the facility mains power source. If there is a facility power disconnect, switch that to the On position. 7.1. At this point, the PDU control system is energized. Outlets will not have power, because the PDU’s breaker(s) are off, but the software will begin its startup process. The default factory setting configures the software to switch the outlet relays on, however, while the breaker(s) are off, power is not actually delivered to the outlets. Allow about a minute for the software to switch on the relays. 4. Switch the breaker(s) to the On position, and the indicator(s) will be lit. This indicator does not necessarily mean power is applied to the outlets. It simply means the breaker is on and power is available to that branch’s outlets. The internal outlet control relays are able to prevent power from reaching the outlets. However, with a factory default setup, power should now be applied to all outlets. The PDU can continue to be used in this way as long as needed. The software can be configured later, or can be left unconfigured if it will not be used. Page 8 Optima 829 Series...
The Ethernet connection supports 10/100 Base-T, IPv4 DHCP and manual addressing. It is recommended to use a manual address, or DHCP in conjunction with MAC ID reservations so that the IP address stays consistent. The Serial interface is RS-232 implemented in an RJ45 connector. A protocol conversion cable with a USB connection at one end and an RJ45 at the other end is ideal for connecting a computer to the Serial port. Marway offers these cables as part number 311118-000. They can also be found on many online cable retailer web sites. 3.3 Breakers Various models have one or two breakers. When there is a single breaker, in effect this behaves like a main breaker, protecting the whole unit, and providing on/off control for the whole unit. When there are two breakers, each breaker protects one group of outlets. Outlets are organized into identical groups. Following the length of the PDU from the inlet, the first breaker operates the first group of outlets, etc. Each breaker has it’s own indicator. When lit, power is being supplied to the correlating outlet group. All models use 2-pole breakers with both line and neutral routed through the breaker. 3.4 Digital Power Meter Option If the PDU is equipped with an inlet power monitoring system, the front control panel will include a digital display and keypad. The display will default to showing the amperage being drawn by the system as a whole (all outlets, plus the internal control system). It will update approximately every 3 seconds. The keypad can be used to navigate through power values for volts, amps, watts, voltamps, voltamps reactive, power factor, and Hertz. For complete display and keypad details, refer to the document Optima RCM User Guide : Software and Basic Controls Reference located on our website at http://www.marway.com/docs.
