Alerts

When an alert occurs, the display stops cycling through the inlet information, and warns you by showing the alerts notice with yellow or red top and bottom bars in the Main Menu. The alerts appear in Automatic or Manual mode.

In Automatic mode, if an alert occurs, the LCD display automatically shows a yellow or red screen which indicates the total number of alerted sensors and information of the latest transitions.

  • When all alerted sensors enter the warning levels, the screen background is yellow.

  • When at least one of the alerted sensors enters the critical level, the screen background is red.

In Manual mode, both the top and bottom bars are yellow or red to indicated the presence of any alert.

  • Yellow bars – Indicate a warning.

    image:Yellow bars indicate warning alert.
  • Red bars – Indicate a critical warning.

    image:Red bars indicate critical warning alert.
  • Black bars – Indicate there are no alerts.

PDU

The PDU menu command shows one or all of the following information.

  • Internal beeper states – Active or Off. In the Active state, the reason for turning on the beeper is indicated, and the top and bottom bars are red.

    Note -  The internal beeper state information is also available in the web interface Dashboard.
  • Total active power of the HPDU – Available only on multi‑inlet models and in‑line monitors

  • Total active energy of the HPDU – Available only on multi‑inlet models and in‑line monitors

  • 12V power supply status

Inlet

The inlet information is organized into two pages. Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the display. To view other pages, press the Up or Down arrow buttons.

The first page shows the inlet's active power (W), apparent power (VA), power factor (PF), and active energy (Wh).

For a single‑phase model, the second page shows the inlet's voltage (V), frequency (Hz) and current (A).

For a three‑phase model, the next several pages show the unbalanced current percentage, line frequency, and the current and voltage values of each line.

OCPs

Depending on the OCPs in the HPDU, the ICPs list is similar to following example list.

.

Note -  If your HPDU model has multiple overcurrent protectors (OCPs) and appears on multiple pages, a page number appears in the upper‑right corner of the top bar. Otherwise, no page numbers appear. If the overcurrent protector you want to view is not visible, press the Up or Down arrow buttons to scroll up or down.

Description
1
Overcurrent protector names.
Associated lines and rated current are displayed below each overcurrent protector name.
2
Current reading of the corresponding overcurrent protector.

Note -  If any circuit breaker trips, the list of overcurrent protectors looks slightly different from the above illustration. The tripped one shows as Open instead of a current reading.

To view the ETHERNET page, press the Down arrow button.

Callout
Description
1
Ethernet interface information
  • MAC address

  • Speed

  • Full or half duplex

2
IPv4/IPv6 network information
  • Network configuration: DHCP (or Automatic), or Static. Static represents Static IP

  • IP address

  • Prefix length, such as /24

Note -  If you disable any Ethernet interface, the Interface Disabled message displays. If you do not enable IPv4/IPv6 settings, the IPv4 (or IPv6) Disabled message displays.

For the HPDU, there are two Ethernet pages -- ETH1 and ETH2.
