iControl Manual

Surge Protection Status
indicates that the surge protection is fully functional.
Rack Temperature
displays the temperature of the sensor that is connected to the top rear
terminal block. The temperature is displayed in degrees C. If the temperature sensor is not
connected, the display will read “NC” for Not Connected.
Line Voltage
displays the true-RMS AC voltage.
Current Draw
displays the total current of the unit in true-RMS amps.
KW-Hours
displays the total energy consumption of the equipment plugged into the unit in KW-
Hours since the date and time displayed in parenthesis. Pressing “Reset Counters” will reset the
KW-Hours count and reset the date and time to the current date and time.
The lower section of the home page provides outlets status. To refresh the status information,
click the “Refresh” button. The labels that are assigned to the outlets can be set or changed in the
Setup Outlets page.
For each outlet the State, Status, Current Draw and Energy Usage are displayed.
State
allows manual control over outlet state (On or Off). When all outlets have been set to the
desired state, press the “Save Changes” button.
Status
displays the current outlet state (On or Off). Press “Refresh” after making changes to
reload the web page with the current outlet states displayed.
Current Draw
displays the true-RMS current being drawn from the outlet.
Energy Usage
displays the true energy that has been consumed by the equipment plugged into
the outlet since the date and time displayed in parenthesis. The energy usage measurement does
not rely on the power factor of the load being 1. In fact, most electronic equipment has a power
factor of less than 1 and therefore the actual energy consumed (which is what is displayed) will
be less than what is obtained by multiplying voltage, current, and time.
Actions Page
The actions page displays system actions at the top of the page, and user defined actions at the
lower part of the page. Actions cause a specific action to be performed when a certain condition
is met. For example, an email can be sent if the current draw of one of the outlets falls below a
chosen amperage.
The main purpose of the system actions is to protect the equipment plugged into the iControl.
The system actions cannot be deleted, but the limits can be changed from the drop-down boxes at
the right of each system action. If there is a conflict between a system action and a user defined
action, the system action takes priority.
