Unit Description
5. Power Circuit B - Switched Outlets: Same as Item 4 above. (Not present on
MPC-18H series units.)
6. Power Circuit B - Circuit Breaker(s): Same as Item 3 above. (Not present on
MPC-18H series units.)
7. Alarm Indicator Lights: Two LEDs which light when an alarm condition is detected
at the corresponding power circuit. For information on Alarm Configuration, please
refer to Section 7. Note that MPC-18H series units include only one Alarm Indicator
Light.
8. Network Port: An RJ45 Ethernet port for connection to your 100Base-T, TCP/IP
network. Note that the MPC features a default IP address (192.168.168.168). This
allows you to connect to the unit without first assigning an IP address. Note that the
Network Port also includes two, small LED indicators for Link and Data Activity. For
more information on Network Port configuration, please refer to Section 5.9.
2.3. MPC-V Series - Hardware Description
As shown in Figure 2.3, MPC-V Series units include the following components:
1. Default Button: This button can be used to either reset the unit to default
parameters or to perform several other functions, as described in Section 2.4.
2. Audible Alarm Button and LED: Two LEDs which light when an alarm condition
is detected at the corresponding power circuit. For information on Alarm
Configuration, please refer to Section 7. Please refer to Section 2.4 for additional
button functions Note that MPC-V series units that include only one power inlet will
also include only one Alarm LED.
3. Display Selection Button and Indicators: Determines which measurement will
appear on the Digital Displays for Circuits A and B. Each time the Display Selection
Button is pressed, the Digital Displays will toggle between Amps, Kilowatts, Volts,
Temperature, Total Kilowatts and Total Amps. When either "Total Kilowatts" or "Total
Amps" are selected, the MPC will display the total for Circuits A and B combined.
An LED indicator will light to show which measurement is currently selected.
Please refer to Section 2.4 for additional button functions. Note that the "Total
Kilowatts and "Total Amps" displays are not available on all MPC-V series units, and
that MPC-V series units that include only one power inlet, will also include only one
Digital Display.
4. Link Ports: Four RJ45 connectors, which can be used to link the MPC unit to up
to three other MPC units, plus the optional MPC-DISPLAY, status display panel.
When your MPC unit is linked to other MPC units, this allows control of up to four
MPC units (one local unit, plus three remote units) via one IP address. If necessary,
the Link Ports can also be reconfigured as RS232 serial ports (as described in
Section 5.8.2) to allow communication with attached devices. The MPC includes
three AUX Ports and one Remote Port; the remote port is intended for connection to
the MPC-DISPLAY unit, and the AUX Ports are intended for connection to additional
MPC units.
