System Controller 11 ■ Monitor system operation status - An AC sensor card inside the PoE Power Rack samples the AC input voltage. The sampled signal is sent to the controller for processing. If the AC input voltage is lower than the pre-set alarm level, the controller reports an AC input under-voltage alarm. Likewise, if the input voltage is higher than the pre-set alarm level, the controller reports an AC input over-voltage alarm. The DC output voltage is also sampled and sent to the cont

12 CHAPTER 2: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Distribution Panel The distribution panel consists of DC output sockets and three AC input sockets. Refer to Figure 7. Figure 7 Distribution Panel The three EN60320 C20 AC input sockets on the front panel of the device are rated at 20A@250VAC. Each socket supplies power to one power supply module. There is an AC power ON/OFF switch beside each AC input socket for individual power switching. The DC distribution panel has Copper bus bars and two 4 AWG/570mm

Installation Sequence 17 3 The following items are included in the unit packaging: PoE Power Rack, power supply module, dummy faceplates and cables. Remove all this material and place aside. Mounting screws are NOT supplied with the PoE Power Rack. Mounting screws may be obtained from the equipment rack/cabinet supplier. 4 It is your option to remove power supply module and dummy faceplates or before installation. Removing them makes the next step easier. Refer to Figure 8. 5 Install the cha

Installation Sequence 19 Connecting to AC utility/ AC power input is accessed from the front of the unit. AC power cord connection is AC grounding made using power cords with IEC 60320 C-19 connector plugs. The AC power plugs are labeled Input 1, Input 2, and Input 3, which correspond to the power supply modules numbered from left to right. Refer to Figure 12. To connect AC power: 1 Turn the AC branch circuit breakers to the "OFF" position. 2 Ensure that the AC input switches are in the "OFF
