Function and purpose

The Switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is used for load management and allows to switch on/off or reboot up to 8 outlets.

It has a built-in temperature sensor, can connect x2 additional analog sensors, x2 dry contact inputs, x2 12V controlled outputs for devices (e.g. alarm beacon or a relay contact), and a digital CAN port for connecting up to x20 sensors or extensions.

There are built-in servers and agents like HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP v1, 2c, 3, SMTP, Radius, Syslog, FTP, DHCP, and Watchdog.

LTE modem is ordered separately and can be integrated inside the system. 

Physical Description

Front panel:

Back panel:

1. "ACT / STATUS" - Green - indicates appliance status

    "LEDs: E1, E2" - status indicators for x2 12V 0.25A outputs at the back of the unit.

  • The LED is ON (orange) - the output is ON (the initial state can be configured).

  • The LED is OFF (orange) - the output is OFF ((the initial state can be configured).

   "LED: CAN" - green LED indicates CAN bus status.

  • The LED blinks slowly - nothing is connected

  • The LED blinks fast - configuration is in process

  • The LED glows constantly - connected to CAN devices

    "ERROR» - red - indicates error and traffic.

  •  the operating mode of the device: If everything is normal, the LED is extinguished, if not - there's a constant glow;

  •  software update mode: switches at a rate of 2 times per second;

    "OUTLETS 1 - 8" - orange - indicates outlet status.

2. "LAN port" - Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port, provides an Ethernet connection. Read more in this section "LAN, GSM, LTE, RADIUS, DNS, SSL, VPN".

  • "Orange LED" - orange LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic.

  • "Green LED" - green LED for Ethernet port. It shows network traffic. Flashes green when the system starts up. Shows the connection state (constant green light - the connection is established, blinking green - the connection attempt).

3. This is a slot for "VT760 / LTE modem". Modem is purchased separately!

3a. "ANTENNA" - connector is used for connecting the antenna to "VT760 / LTE modem" for correct time detection. 

3b. "Status" - displays modem status. Blinking = working.

3c. "Main antenna" - Connector, used when the LTE modem is installed inside of the appliance to connect LTE main antenna. (The main antenna is supplied together with the modem).

3d. "Auxiliary" - Connector, used when the modem is installed inside of the appliance to connect LTE auxiliary antenna. The additional antenna helps to strengthen the signal level. (Auxiliary LTE antenna and antenna output are ordered separately from the modem).

3e. "SIM card" - SIM card slot with an injector.

4. "A1..A2" - x2 RJ12 analog sensor inputs with auto-sensing. Read instructions at "Analog sensors connection", "Sensor configuration".

5. "Sticker space" - A place for a sticker, can be used by a user to place an identifier of the system (for example, an IP address).

6. "Logo sticker" - Displays article number of the monitoring unit.

7. "USB" - type miniAB USB-port 2.0. USB ports are needed for USB camera recording, USB Flash for system logs, and system restoration. Read instructions at "Connecting USB camera", "USB camera settings. How to save a video", "Saving system logs on USB flash drive", "USB upgrade or restore of default settings".

8. "RESTART" - the button restarts the appliance. Hold the button for 2 seconds and then let go, the system will restart.

9. Outlets "1-4", "5-8" - x8 power outlets C13 110-240VAC 50/60Hz. Read instructions at: "A relay switching (NC NO) / Outlets switching".

10. "INLET" - 110-240VAC 50/60Hz

11. "FUSE" - Inlet fuse 16A 6x30mm

12. "" - Chassis grounding, M4 thread. Enhances the immunity of the equipment against conducted and radiated RF disturbances. Please contact a professional electrician before connecting it.

13. "Dip switch" - A switch controlling the operating mode of the system

Operating mode: Up >> ↑ Off - the system should be always switched to this model.

Recovery mode:  Down >> ↓ On - use this option only in case you need to recover manufacturing settings. Read instructions at: "Restore of appliance (for VT335S, VT805, VT604, VT608, VT825)".

14. "DRY CONTACT INPUTS 1...2" - x2 digital inputs (Type IN). Read instructions at "Connecting dry contacts", "Dry contacts settings".

15. "OUTPUT 12V 0.25A" - 12V 0.25A (for each output) terminals outputs (electronic relay). Read instructions at "Connecting 12V devices to 12V outputs".

16. "CAN" - digital connector RJ12 for the connection of CAN sensors and CAN extensions on a CAN bus, with auto-sensing. Modules can be chained together. Read instructions at "CAN devises connection", "Setting up CAN".
