RPS Series - Remote Power Switches; Quick Start Guide
2. Hardware Installation
This Quick Start Guide assumes that you have already powered up your IOLAN
Device Server according to the Device Server's Quick Start Guide.
2.1. Apply Power to the RPS
Refer to power rating nameplate on the RPS back panel, and then connect the
RPS unit to an appropriate power source. RPS830 and RPS1630 units should be
connected to a 100 to 120 VAC power supply, and RPS820 and RPS1620 units
should be connected to a 208 to 240 VAC power supply.
CAUTION: Make certain to review the safety precautions listed in
Section 4.1 in the User's Guide and at the beginning of this Quick
Start Guide.
Note that RPS units feature two separate AC inputs. Connect power supply
cables to the RPS’s Circuit "A" and Circuit "B" inlets, and then connect the
cables to an appropriate power supply. The RPS1630 and RPS830 will support
up to 15 Amps maximum per power circuit, for a total load of 30 Amps. The
RPS1620 and RPS820 will support up to 10 Amps maximum per power circuit,
for a total load of 20 Amps.
Set the Main Power Switch in the ON position; the ON LED should light, and the
RDY LED should begin to flash. This indicates that the RPS is ready to receive
commands.
2.2. Connect the Device Server to the RPS
To connect the Device Server to the RPS, do the following:
1. Plug the DB9 to RJ45 Adapter into the RPS Serial Port.
2. Using one of the CAT5 cables, connect one of the Device Server's serial
ports to the adapter in the RPS.
