PCU8 Power Control Unit

When connected to a Secure Console Server, the PCU8 can be remotely controlled over a network or through a dial-up connection.

The unit can be programmed to power-up attached devices in a pre-determined sequence for unattended operation, or to reduce inrush current from the AC mains. The PCU8 uses zero-crossing solid-state relays for silent switching of attached devices. These relays shield attached equipment from harmful power transients. Power Failure Recovery ensures that no one has to be there to start up equipment if a power failure occurs.

For local control, front panel mounted switches provide convenient access, and LED indicators provide status for each device. Where more than 8 devices need to be controlled, additional PCU8 units can be cascaded to control up to 72 devices from a single serial port.

Remotely Control Equipment from Anywhere
The PCU8 remote power control unit allows independent control of power of up to 8 devices via a single RS-232 serial port. Password protected access and a convenient menu system provide Systems Administrators with complete control of the connected devices. Reboot any individual device, a group of devices, or all connected devices simultaneously.
