DESCRIPTION 

The new DC-RMCU1 DC-Powered Remote Monitoring and Control Unit, provides the ability to remotely monitor AC Line 

voltage up to 300 VAC, up to 6 DC Voltages and 1 temperature, monitor the status of up to 4 external alarms, as well as the ability to 
remotely control the state of 4 digital open-drain MOSFET outputs, all via the internet using any standard web browser. The Channel 1 
DC voltage input is configured at the factory to measure current using the included 100 Amp/50mV shunt. Additional channels can be 
configured at the factory for current measurement. A mobile friendly version of the status page is also included. Alarms and email 
notifications can be configured for the 6 analog voltage channels (high and low voltage), and email notifications can be configured for 
the Alarm inputs. A high-temperature alarm threshold can be configured to send an email notification, as well as control one of the 
digital outputs internally. The DC-RMCU1 also sends SNMP Traps for alarm conditions. The DC-RMCU can also be set to log 
measurements to a 2 GB internal micro SD card, and the measurements are time-stamped with a real-time clock. 

Guest users will see the status page that displays the AC Voltage, measured values and alarm condition of all active voltage 

channels, temperature value and alarm condition, as well as alarm input status, and control status. 

Admin and Control Users will be able to configure all of the input and output settings, and set the state of the digital outputs. 

Admin and Control users can set device settings for logging, time, and Site Name.  

Admin users have exclusive control of network configuration, including manual time setting or NTP, soft reboot of the DC-

RMCU1, factory reset of the entire configuration, and Control or Admin user passwords. 

The DC-RMCU1 comes with the DuraComm three-year warranty.
