GUDE 4-Fold Switched and Metered PDU

Product Description

Expert Power Control 1141-1 for more operational security and energy efficiency in small installations

• Demonstrably fewer and shorter outages of your critical IT and AV infrastructure
• Compact housing design allows space-saving integration even in confined small AV environments such as media furniture
• Detect AV and IT problems at an early stage: Proactive power and environment monitoring
• Measurably increased energy efficiency (Green IT and AV): Electricity cost and CO2 savings through controlled switching off of devices
• Integrate anywhere: Quickly and easily integrate anywhere with API interface: REST API, HTTPS, SNMP, Telnet and MQTT
• Fix AV and IT problems quickly and effectively: Remote reboot or with the self-healing function (automatic restart) thanks to integrated watchdogs

Massive time and cost savings through plug-and-play drivers from our technology partners

Switching function

• Each power port can be switched via HTTP(S), SNMP, ModbusTCP or command line interface via Telnet, SSH, MQTT and serial interface
• Programmable on/off sequences for remote reboots (Remote Reboot)
• Power ports can be switched when preset sensor thresholds are exceeded
• Self-healing function thanks to 4-channel watchdog: Each power port can be assigned its own Watchdog (ICMP/TCP), which initiates a fully automatic restart if necessary
• Switching state and switch-on delay up to 9999 seconds (166 minutes) individually adjustable for each output port after power failure
• Current peaks due to increased inrush currents are automatically prevented by sequential switch-on with a latency of 1 second

Metering function

• Power consumption metering (kwH) with 2 energy counters: one counter counts consistently, the other counter is resettable
• Metering of current (A), voltage (V), phase angle, power factor, frequency (Hz), active power (W), apparent power (VA) and reactive power (VAr)
• Connector for combined plug-and-play sensors (temperature, humidity and air pressure) to prevent often occurring physical hazards like overheating and increased humidity or air pressure

Security

• Integrated type 3 overvoltage protection prevents damage to the device and connected loads
• Long-life High-Inrush Relays prevent welding of relay contacts during inrush current peaks
• Generation of status messages and alarms (e-mail, syslog, SNMP traps MQTT, SSH, Telnet)
• Encrypted e-mails (SSL, STARTTLS)
• Access protection by IP access control
• Encrypted communication through SSL (TLS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and SSH
• Password protected access
• Beeper for audible alarm when sensor limits are exceeded/deceeded

Operation

• Easy-to-read LEDs displaying switching status of outlets and device status
• Firmware update via Ethernet during operation (no restart required)
• Simple and flexible configuration via web browser, Windows or Linux program
• Dynamic assignment of an IP address via DHCP or manual assignment of static IP address
• Rapid commissioning thanks to free and reliable drivers from our technology partners

Use Cases

Locations

• AV environments: Huddle rooms, conference rooms, theaters, cinemas, marine environments, smart home, meeting rooms, courtrooms, lecture halls in universities, LED walls or digital signage systems (DooH)
• Industrial environments: Production facilities, solar installations, manufacturing rooms, warehouses or test labs
• IT installations: distributed infrastructures, equipment rooms, KVM, network closets, server racks, 19″ cabinets, data centers or server rooms

Application

• Switching of network or media devices by media controls of well-known AV manufacturers (AMX, Atlona, Barco, Crestron, Control4, Extron, Neets, QSC, Utelogy)
• Remote reboot of PCs, servers, routers and switches
• Reduction of power consumption and thus lower CO2 emissions from standby devices
• Network monitoring with with integration in monitoring software (PRTG, Icinga, Nagios, Power IQ, Tivoli)
• Switching and control of servers and IT devices in the server room and data center
• Environment monitoring with plug-and-play sensors (temperature, humidity)
