2 AlterPath PM Installation, Administration, and User’s Guide
Description
The following sections describe common features among all AlterPath PM
units.
Alarms and Monitoring
The AlterPath PM delivers accurate, real-time global current monitoring of all
connected devices via the user interface screen or locally through an LED
digital display. Users have the ability to set a current alarm threshold that,
once exceeded, will cause the AlterPath PM to sound an alarm or send a
notification message, or both. The LED current display also blinks when the
alarm threshold is exceeded.
Sequential Power Up
The AlterPath PM incorporates a sequential power up feature that prevents all
power outlet receptacles from turning on at once, eliminating the potential of
current surges that could render the equipment inoperable. Together with the
global current monitoring, the sequential power-up feature lets users safely
install more equipment on existing power circuits without the worry of current
overloads.
Support for Daisy Chaining
The IPDU has a fixed number of power-outlet receptacles, but with daisy
chaining capabilities, users can increase capacity by connecting the control
interfaces of several AlterPath PMs in a series.
