Tracking power usage for rack-mounted equipment in a data center doesn't have to be a complex task. Even without web-based monitoring software, you can manage power directly through the PDU itself. For many IT managers, having power data at their fingertips on a local display can provide the convenience and control they need.
Intuitive LCD Display for Easy Monitoring
provide detailed power data and control through an intuitive LCD display, designed to be clear and readable regardless of whether the PDU cord exits at the top or bottom of the cabinet.
- Rotatable for Maximum Visibility: The display screen can rotate 180°, ensuring that the power data is easy to read regardless of whether the PDU cord exits from the top or bottom of the cabinet. This flexibility makes the unit accessible from different angles and installation configurations.
- Comprehensive Power Metrics: With the LCD display, you can monitor detailed power data directly on the unit. It shows voltage, current, power (kW), and power factor for each individual breaker on the PDU, giving you accurate information about your entire power setup.
- Outlet-Level Monitoring: On and , the display also allows you to monitor individual outlet receptacle current, providing more granular insights into power consumption.
- Multiple Display Options for Different Models: For single-phase and split-phase PDUs, you can see total voltage, current, and kW. For three-phase PDUs, you also get Line Input Current along with a total summary of voltage and kW—critical for understanding overall power usage in high-density applications.
- Environmental Monitoring: If external sensors are connected to the PDU, the LCD screen can also show temperature and humidity data when external sensors are connected, allowing you to monitor vital environmental conditions in real time.
- Easy Network Configuration: The eConnect display makes network setup straightforward by allowing you to enter the PDU IP address directly from the screen, simplifying the deployment process.
