5. Installation
This RPM series is
ONLY
intended to be installed in an indoor temperature controlled environment that is free of
conductive contaminants. DO NOT operate the RPM in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near
heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM is exposed to direct sunlight. Select a location,
which will provide good air circulation for the RPM at all times. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or
damaged.
Rack Mount Instructions
A) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable Earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips)."
Hardware
The RPM comes with brackets for mounting into a rack. To mount the RPM into a rack perform the following
procedure:
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the RPM, using the four retaining screws provided for each of the brackets.
2. Select the desired location for the RPM.
3. Align the mounting holes of brackets with the notched hole on the vertical rail and attach with the retaining
screws.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RPM.
5. Connect the output devices to the RPM outlets.
6. Connect the input power cord of the RPM to the wall outlet.
Note 1:
The default setting for the IP address is DHCP enabled. If the RPM cannot get the IP from DHCP server, the IP
address will stay at the
default IP address 192.168.0.216
Note 2:
To setup the network system for RPM, it is strongly recommended to build up the power monitoring network
system, which is isolated from the others, in order to maintain reliable system operation.
