Specifications Overview The ZP Series products are Power Distribution Units (PDU) intended for connection to a 50-120 Amp AC Mains circuit. The PDUs are designed to be powered by either a single phase or a three phase AC input circuit. Three phase units are configured for a delta input connection. ZP Series PDUs can optionally be configured with a Geist Current Meter that provides local monitoring and display of each output circuit current.
Data Formats (For Current Monitoring (EM) Meter Units Only) HTML, SNMP, XML EMC Verification This Class A device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Installation Instructions 1. Using appropriate hardware, mount PDU to rack (see Mounting section for additional instructions. 2. Connect PDU into de-energized appropriately rated branch circuit with plug or hardwired connection depending on PDU design 3. Connect devices into PDU’s output receptacles. It is recommended that the devices are turned off until all devices are connected to PDU 4.

Optional Local Monitoring Power Meter The Geist PM-1 power meter is a low-power, high accuracy meter capable of measuring true RMS Current, Voltage, Power, and Power Factor. These values are individually shown on an easy to read, 4-digit LED Display, which continuously scrolls through the four different measured values.
Three Circuit Current Meter The Geist CM-3 current meter is a low-power, high accuracy meter capable of measuring true RMS Current. The value of current per output circuit is shown on an easy to read, 4-digit LED Display. The display continuously scrolls through the three different measured values of output circuit current.
Default gateway: 192.168.123.1 Actual configuration of circuits measured by Current Monitoring Meter is PDU model specific. Please contact Geist Manufacturing’s Customer Service department with questions on measurement configuration of Current Monitoring Meters. In some configurations, leaving the gateway field blank may resolve connectivity issues.
Click “OK” twice. You can now access the unit using your web browser at the permanent IP address of 192.168.123.123. Typical Network Card Settings for PC or Laptop to connect to default IP address First time setup (MacOS 10.5 and 10.6): Open System Preferences via the Dock or the Apple menu.

LED Display Each PDU has a built-in 4-digit LED display mounted midway down the chassis. The display scrolls through the most recent current measurement (in amps) for each circuit, one at a time. It displays a circuit name, pauses, and then displays the measurement. Momentarily press the “Pause Scroll/IP Address Reset”...

Rebooting the Meter Should an Current Monitoring Meter with firmware version 1.36 or higher installed stop responding to network traffic, it is possible to restore functionality by rebooting the meter without removing power from the PDU it is enclosed in. To reboot the meter, press and hold the “Pause Scroll/IP Address Reset”...
Sample Usage The simplest way to get data from a Current Monitoring Meter into a script is via the XML page. Simply performing an HTTP GET (as a web browser does) on http://<IP address of meter>/data.xml will download the XML file. The following examples assume that the meter’s IP address is 192.168.123.123.

Serial Communication Satellite Current Monitoring Meter is also capable of serial communication via a serial terminal or console. The RJ-12 port on the unit can be connected to other serial devices via an adapter cable. The serial interface can be used to view unit version, # of channels, and current measurement data.
Service/Tech Support Service and Maintenance No service or maintenance is required. Do not attempt to open the PDU or you may void the warranty. No serviceable parts inside. It is recommended that power be removed from the unit before installing or removing any equipment. More Technical Support http://www.geistmfg.com (800) 432-3219...
