Chapter 6: PowerGate2

Assign a name to the PowerGate2 that describes its location. Also, assign labels to each outlet which describes the device

plugged into that outlet. This information will be critical when it comes time to reboot a device. You can also assign voice

messages to the PowerGate2 and each outlet. The voice messages will allow you to control equipment via telephone using

touch-tones. Use the Voice Message programming screen to record your messages.

To switch an outlet from the IMS ConsoleView Software, left-click on the word PowerGate2 within the menu tree. The

screen below will appear. Click on the “name” or number of the outlet you wish to switch. In the figure, outlet 5 is selected.

Multiple outlets can be switched at the same time by holding down either the Shift key (select a continuous block) or the

Control Key (to select a discontinuous assortment of outlets). After making your selections, click the On, Off or Cycle but-

ton to execute the command. When Cycle is selected, the outlet will be switched Off for 10 seconds and then will automati-

cally switch back On. When you select Off or Cycle, an additional prompt appears to confirm that you really want to remove

power from the selected device. Note that the PowerGate2 will switch all selected outlets simultaneously.

The IMS-4000 allows you to program an Alarm Response whenever an environmental or IP Alarm occurs. An Alarm

Response is an action that occurs automatically whenever an alarm occurs. Using the PowerGate2 you can automatically turn

On, Off, or Cycle equipment whenever an Environmental or IP alarm occurs. Up to eight actions can be applied for each

alarm response. The PowerGate2 will perform all automated switching simultaneously. See Configuring Environmental Inputs

and Configuring IP Alarms in the IMS-4000 Software Configuration Manual for details.
