Introduction
Overall Operation
:
The Smart Tracker Remote Power Manager is an IP ready, GPS enabled device that provides remote control over each
independent outlet, relay, or input contact. Each of the eight outlets may be remotely commanded on or off to cycle
power to network devices, CCTV cameras, heater mats, or any device that may be attached to the Smart Tracker. Eight
relays are also independently controlled to provide alarm notification to traffic controllers or power activation to
auxiliary devices. The eight input contacts may be used to indicate that an external event has occurred, such as
tampering with the enclosure, or that a standby generator is currently running. All outlets, relays, and input contacts are
fully customizable, providing accurate labeling and descriptions for their use. When any of the outlets or relays
changes state, the Smart Tracker stores the current state each outlet and relay in the event that unit must be shutdown.
Upon power up, the unit will automatically restore each outlet and relay to its previously stored state of operation.
Embedded in each Smart Tracker is a webpage used to provide the user control of the device. This webpage also
includes real-time AC input voltage, total AC current readings, internal and external temperature and humidity
conditions, the ability to monitor two external DC voltage sources, and state of operation for outlets, relays, and input
contacts. Thresholds for various operating parameters are configurable through the embedded webpage, allowing for
email notifications and SNMP trap information to be sent to any number of recipients with information regarding the
event. GPS location with mapping provides the exact location of each Smart Tracker that is deployed in the field. All
events that occur are kept in an event log that can be viewed through any web browser. A built-in Scheduler and
Action Task creator provides outlet and relay automation. Each unit has the ability to reset one or more outlets if
network connectivity is lost when utilizing the integrated Ping feature. Management of firmware and upload of
configuration files allows each Smart Tracker to be upgraded and maintained remotely. The Smart Tracker also
includes a two-line LCD and LEDs to provide local access to parameters and status of currently active outlets, relays,
and input contacts.
Primary Voltage
:
The Smart Tracker has been designed for operation from standard AC utility lines with an overall voltage range of 85
to 154 volts for 60Hz models. A 15Amp circuit breaker provides power to the device as well as protection from over
current conditions. The output voltage of each outlet follows the primary input voltage.
Hot-Start
:
In the event that none of the outlets are activated automatically, the Hot-Start feature provides a way to active all
outlets from the front panel using the Enter Button. This is a useful feature to allow a user the ability to power multiple
devices immediately.
