The DC SMARTStart® is a NEBS Level 3 Certified and UL 60950-1
Listed power distribution and circuit protection unit. This devices is
available in -48, +12, or +24/+28 VDC and is designed to reliably cycle
power to devices with DC power supplies. The DC SMARTStart® has
specialized electronic switchable solid state circuit breakers factory
set to values defined by our customers for their specific application. To
minimize downtime, the unit features a breaker auto reset function. The
on-board computer will pole the tripped channel position to determine
whether there is indeed a fault, such as a short circuit. If this condition
is determined to be non-catastrophic, the breaker is reset. The client is
able to disable this feature if desired.
This advanced unit will permit the user to power cycle all 12 solid
state breakers as well as the 2 ROCB mains breakers. Refer to the
Configurations page for respective trip currents. The DC SMARTStart®
PDU features a Visual Basic (VB) Interface to program the power up/
down sequence and power up/down delays for each channel, along with
the LVD and OVD thresholds. Open architecture enables a designer to
incorporate the PDU and its operation into a fully integrated deployable
solution.
There are numerous ROCB values available (see Configurations page)
that provide primary current protection to the PDU and downstream
equipment controlled by the PDU. The ROCBs are UL-listed primary
circuit protection to the the six outputs on side A and B.
Our newest high-current, direct feed version provides easy power
cycling to -48, +12, or +24/+28 VDC powered routers/switches and
other enterprise-related equipment via remote activated circuit breakers
for values rated to 100 Amps.
The DC SMARTStart® PDU is capable of monitoring line voltage, circuit
breaker status, and internal temperature to provide the required power
and circuit protection to connected equipment.
Operational control is performed either manually by front panel push
buttons or remotely through an RS-232 serial console port 10/100
BASE-T or LAN TCP/IP, Telnet, or SNMP Agent.
The DC SMARTStart® is the ideal DC power distribution and circuit
protection solution for:
- Data Centers
- Industrial ATE Cabinets
- Unmanned Vehicles
- Transit Cases
- Command Post Platforms
- Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs)
- Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs)
- XDSL Applications
- CATV Enterprises
- Blade Servers
Power actuation and battery disconnect increase float longevity of Bulk
Battery Storage. This feature makes the DC SMARTStart® a perfect
solution for remote sites utilizing solar power.
