Peripherals
If there are Raritan environmental sensor packages connected to the Legrand PDU, they are listed on the
Peripherals page. See
Connecting Raritan Environmental Sensor Packages
(on page 40).
An environmental sensor package comprises one or some of the following sensors/actuators:
Numeric sensors: Detectors that show both readings and states, such as temperature sensors.
State sensors: Detectors that show states only, such as contact closure sensors.
Actuators: An actuator controls a system or mechanism so it shows states only.
Legrand PDU communicates with
managed
sensors/actuators only and retrieves their data. It does not
communicate with unmanaged ones. See
Managed vs Unmanaged Sensors/Actuators
(on page 136).
When the number of "managed" sensors/actuators has not reached the maximum, Legrand PDU
automatically brings newly-detected sensors/actuators under management by default.
One Legrand PDU can manage a maximum of 32 sensors/actuators.
Note: To disable the automatic management function, go to
PDU
(on page 102). You need to manually
manage a sensor/actuator only when it is not under management.
When any sensor/actuator is no longer needed, you can unmanage/release it.
Open the Peripheral Devices page by clicking Peripherals in the
Menu
(on page 92). Then you can:
Perform actions on multiple sensors/actuators by using the control/action icons on the top-right
corner.
Go to an individual sensor's or actuator's data/setup page by clicking its name.
