The Spectrum Control AC SMARTstart® Jr. is a multifunctional AC power distribution unit designed to direct and manage power to connected file servers and networking equipment. SMARTstart® is available in 15 Amp, 20 Amp, and 30 Amp total load capacity models. For industrial applications we offer output configurations that use screw clamp terminal blocks in lieu of IEC or NEMA connectors.

This unit has the ability to power-on or power-off any or all loads in any sequence over a wide range of time intervals. A circuit breaker at the AC input provides overall protection. The AC SMARTstart® Jr. is also capable of monitoring input line voltage and total load current, as well as line frequency. External temperature can be monitored with an optional temperature sensor (other sensor options available).

Operation/control is accomplished either manually, using controls on the front panel of the unit, or remotely, using a computing device that utilizes EIA RS-232 and RS-485/422 communications such as a laptop computer, desktop computer, palm pilot, etc. The telnet/web feature is available as seen below.
