Chapter 1: Introduction
The Server Technology Inc. Sentry family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for
power distribution, power management and load-measurement for remote internetworking equipment
and branch AC circuits.
The Sentry Power Distribution Unit (PTPD) provides simple power distribution with cumulative load
monitoring for environments without a requirement for remote power management.
Features and Benefits
Sentry Power Distribution Units are available in 8-outlet, 16-outlet and 18-outlet configurations for
100-120VAC or 208-240VAC up to 30A. See Standard Models in Appendix C: Technical
Specifications.
Power Distribution
A Sentry Power Distribution Unit distributes a maximum of 30A AC power (dependant on PTPD
model) across a maximum of sixteen attached devices.
Load Measurement
The Sentry Power Distribution Unit's load measurement feature eliminates guesswork by supplying the
cumulative operating load in amperes. This allows on-site technicians to maximize the equipment
installed and operated on a circuit without worry. Use of the circuit is maximized, while effectively
allowing a 10% to 20% safety margin. Remote users also may access this information at any time from
the Control Screen interface (Remote access not available on PTPD-xE models).
Over-Threshold Notification
Sentry Power Distribution Units features two standard over-threshold alarms; an audible alarm for the
local technician and a contact-closure alarm circuit which allows over-threshold alerts to be sent a third
party device (Not available on PTPD-xE models).
