3 Overview
The PL-50 Power Controller Monitor can control up to five power channels at
a total load of 10A. The PL-50, by measuring and then monitoring the
standby and active modes of the connected units, can detect whether a unit is
in the standby mode, the active mode or is disconnected.
Two versions of the PL-50 are available, a European version and a version for
the USA.
The PL-50 features include:
•
PRESET LEVEL buttons, for measuring the STANDBY mode and the
ACTIVE mode for reference
• A green ACTIVE LED and an orange STANDBY LED per channel,
indicating the status of the outlet
• The ability to detect a change in the state of any of the channels and then
trigger an alarm via the RELAY and Digital control terminal blocks that
can be connected to an alarm or any other room activity
• Control via embedded Web pages, letting you schedule the activity of the
outlet, set a response in case of an event, set the status of each channel
separately, set the power ON/OFF order and delay, and so on
• An Ethernet port and a USB port for unit configuration and control
Control the PL-50 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
•
USB, RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller
• ETHERNET
• The Kramer Infrared Remote Control Transmitter
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your PL-50 away from
moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
