Supported Sensor Configurations for Power Sharing
All information and restrictions described in this section apply to
BOTH PDUs involved in the power-sharing configuration, unless
otherwise specified.
There are no limitations for connecting Raritan's DPX or DPX2
environmental sensor packages to an iX7
™
PDU in the power-sharing
mode. See
DPX Sensor Packages
(on page 45) or
DPX2 Sensor
Packages
(on page 50).
The maximum number of supported DPX3 environmental sensor
packages remains unchanged -- that is, 12 DPX3 packages. See
DPX3
Sensor Packages (on page 52).
The maximum number of supported DX environmental sensor packages
also remains unchanged as long as the DPX3-ENVHUB4 sensor hub is
not used -- that is, 12 DX sensor packages. See
DX or DX2 Sensor
Packages
(on page 54).
However, there are DX restrictions when DPX3-ENVHUB4 is used, and
there are also door handles-related restrictions.
DX sensor restrictions when connected via DPX3-ENVHUB4:

A maximum of one DPX3-ENVHUB4 and a maximum of 10 DX sensor
packages are supported.
Restrictions of connecting door handles via DX-PD2C5:

A maximum of 4 handles connected to a maximum of two DX-PD2C5
packages are supported.

All of the 4 handles must be controlled by the same PDU to ensure
that only one handle is in the unlocked state at a time. That is, the
door handles are connected to only one PDU in the power-sharing
connection, NOT both.

When more than one DX-PD2C5 are required, they must be cascaded
via standard network patch cables, instead of using a sensor hub.
Other sensor restrictions when door handles are present:
Make sure the connection of door handles complies with the above
restrictions.
