Smart-PDU accurately meters power and energy usage on each individual branch circuit of your PDUs.
Smart-PDU utilizes a patent pending modular design that distributes the common voltages from your PDU to a
backplane for input to enclosed BladeMeter™ power meters. This voltage input along with current information
provided by split-core current transformers installed on each circuit is continuously monitored by the
BladeMeter™ to accurately determine the cumulative energy usage and power load for each circuit.
This is critical information needed to better manage your power and cooling resources.
Smart-PDUs modular design greatly simplifies installation and deployment. Each BladeMeter™ can meter two branch circuits.
The Smart-PDU cabinet supports up to 21 BladeMeters™ so you can configure Smart-PDU to meter between 2 and 42
branch circuits in two circuit increments. By utilizing split-core current transformers, installation can be
accomplished in just a few minutes per circuit without any interruption of power.
Smart-PDU BladeMeters™ exceed ANSI Standards for watt-hour meter accuracy so you are assured of the same
high accuracy standards public utilities require for their meters. This is an important consideration if
you intend to bill your customers for their power usage.
Smart-PDU supports a wide range of network reading options. You can daisy-chain multiple Smart-PDU together
and read them automatically from a host computer through a Serial Port Adapter or USB Port Adapter.
With the addition of a Smart-Net Gateway you can remotely connect to a group of daisy-chained Smart-PDU across
a TCP/IP network. The Smart-Net Gateway supports reading Smart-Watts via XML based Web Services or automatically
logging the data to a remote FTP Server.
