Pulizzi Engineering, Inc. announces the release of the new IPV42/70 Series Intelligent Power Controllers™. This new series is available in both 42" and 70" vertical power strips. This power distribution series provides individual on/off/reboot control of up to 24 AC power receptacles. This device allows remote power monitoring of both voltage and current. The current is also displayed on a local two digit current meter. The optional environmental sensor kit allows the device to read temperature and humidity. Additional inputs allow for the connection of switches to sense door closures, airflow and many other closure-based monitoring devices. The control and monitoring is accomplished via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or Serial (RS232) connections. The network interface can be accessed with a web browser, telnet or with SNMP management software. The software interface is highly customizable allowing for unit naming, outlet naming, sensor naming and multiple user login/passwords.

This device is ideal for data centers or remote site management. The flexible software can be setup to send either SNMP traps or e-mail alerts notifying the system manager of a problem. These alerts can include over/under voltage, current, temperature, humidity or outlet status changes. The network manager can then remotely connect to the device to get real time information and perform control functions. Other software features include automatically scheduling outlet on/off events, DHCP, secure web server and password protection.

The IPV42/70 Series is an industrial grade power distribution unit designed for rack and computer enclosures. The device comes in two configurations. The 42" version features (8) outlets and is 2" wide by 1.89" deep. The 70" tall version features either (16) or (24) outlets and is 2" wide by 1.89" deep.

The IPV70 is also available in 3 phase power input for increased power density allowing up to 5760 VA of power from one device. Power output options include either IEC C13 "computer style" receptacles or NEMA 5-15R "standard three-prong" receptacles. List price starts at $799.00, with quantity discounts available.
