Connect a standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 LAN port on the
front panel to remotely monitor, control and reconfigure the panel settings from
a remote computer.
OPERATION
Ensure the correct circuit breakers are installed in each channel location that will
be used to power a load.
Energise each bus by closing the main external breaker or disconnect device on
the bus input lines. Switch on the front panel channel breakers for all connected
outputs, and check that the internal channel relays have closed by verifying that
the connected loads are energised. (Note that all output channels on a bus will
be disabled and network communication will be dropped if the bus voltage drops
below approximately 6V for more than 3s. Normal operation will be restored
once the bus voltage is above 8V)
Switch off any unused internal channel relays to reduce the power consumed by
the panel, using a networked computer and Web Browser. See the
TCP/IP Web
Based Utility
section,
Output On/Off Buttons
. (Each channel relay consumes
approximately 2W when closed; the factory default setting is for all outputs to be
on)
Status Indicators and Alarms
The Form-C Bus Alarm contacts are used to indicate an alarm condition.
