IPL EXP PDU4H • Setup Guide
The Extron IPL EXP PDU4H Control System Expansion Interface provides centralized power management for medium sized AV
systems. The IPL EXP PDU4H includes the following features:
Dedicated control and monitoring of four AC power outputs
Standalone manual input control for each AC output
A single relay output
Basic surge protection
Alarm notifications
It provides remote individual AC output control, ability to create schedules,
ability to resolve issues with devices, and aggregate current sensing via
software configuration or from the IPL EXP PDU4H embedded webpage.
The IPL EXP PDU4H works in combination with IPCP Pro xi Series control
processors. Once configured, these systems allow users to remotely
control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display
devices and switchers. All models include an embedded web server.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an
IPL EXP PDU4H (with an IPCP Pro xi Series control processor) and to
create a basic configuration.
In this guide the IPL EXP PDU4H is referred to as the "IPL EXP," "EXP," "power distribution unit," or "power expansion interface."
Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the IPCP Pro xi control processor, the IPL EXP PDU4H, and other Extron
control products. Configure the control system using Extron Global Configurator
Professional (GC Professional) or Global Configurator Plus (GC Plus) mode, or program the control processor using
Global Scripter
 (GS). The control system integrates seamlessly with GlobalViewer
®
apps for remote control applications. Each IPCP Pro xi control processor supports multiple TouchLink
Network Button Panels (NBPs), and IPL EXP expansion interfaces over a standard Ethernet network. Global Configurator and
other useful software applications are available at www.extron.com.
Operation Modes
The IPL EXP PDU4H has three modes of operation:
Manual control (using the Manual Control
contact closure ports)
Enabled at all times
Takes precedence over the other two modes
Simple Instruction Set (SIS-over-SSH) control
Enabled by default
Best for Ethernet communication with non-Extron devices
Disabled by SPD mode
Secure Platform Device (SPD) mode
Enabled once the unit is paired with an IPCP Pro xi Series control processor via Toolbelt and configured using Global
Configurator or programmed with Global Scripter
Guarantees secure communication in an environment of Extron-only products
Disabled when the device is disconnected from the Extron control system (when the device is reset in Toolbelt or the
connection between the control processor and the IPL EXP is interrupted)
SIS-over-SSH (via port 22023) and SPD modes of operation are mutually exclusive.
Current sensing
Half rack enclosure
Optional cable kits
Compatibility with Extron IPCP Pro Q xi and xi Series
control processors
software running in Global Configurator
