NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) Overview The NXA-PDU-1508-8 Power Distribution Unit (FG673-01) provides switching of mains power to each of eight AC power outlets. The two built-in AxLink bus strips provide connectivity (AxLink data / power) for up to eight AxLink connections.
NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) NXA-PDU-1508-8 Specifications (Cont.) Front Panel Components: POWER LEDs (1-8): Eight green LEDs illuminate to indicate that the associated Power Outlet (#1 - #8) is in use. AXLINK LEDs: Two red LEDs illuminate to indicate when the associated AxLink Bus Strips (Bank 1 or Bank 2) on the PDU is in use.

NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are NO user serviceable parts within the NXA-PDU-1508-8. The NXA-PDU-1508-8 is intended for indoor use only. DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 40ºC (104ºF) or falls below 0ºC (32ºF). DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 in an area in which the ambient relative humidity exceeds 85% or an area that is prone to condensation.
NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) Rack-Mounting For safety, the socket-outlet should be installed near the NXA-PDU-1508-8 and must be easily accessible. Before rack mounting the PDU, pay particular attention to the following factors: Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.

Installation Installation Front Panel Components The front panel components of the NXA-PDU-1508-8 are shown in FIG. 6: AxLink BANK 2 Status LED AxLink BANK 1 Status LED POWER (Output 1-8 Status) LEDs AxLink STATUS LED RESET pushbutton FIG. 6 NXA-PDU-1508-8 - Front Panel Components See the Specifications table for descriptions of the LEDs on the front panel. RESET Pushbutton The RESET pushbutton is a momentary breaker reset switch for the MASTER AxLink power connection.
Installation MASTER Connector The 3.5mm 4-pin captive-wire AxLink connector labelled “MASTER” provides AxLink connectivity between the PDU and the NetLinx Master (see FIG. 7). This connector is always ON. TEMP Connector The 3.5mm 2-pin captive-wire connector labelled “TEMP” (see FIG. 7) provides the option to connect a Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS). The NXA-PDU-1508-8 comes with one ENV-VST-TSO Temperature Sensor (FG2050-22). Connect either wire from the RTS to either pin on the TEMP connector (FIG.
Installation AxLink Wiring Guidelines AxLink devices require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is supplied via the AxLink cable. The maximum AxLink wiring distance is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. Use the 3-step formula below to calculate the maximum wiring lengths allowable between the PDU and connected AxLink devices. 1.
Installation Power Outlets 1-8 The eight 110-220VAC 50/60Hz, IEC C-13, 15A AC Power Outlet Connectors provide AC power to connected devices (see FIG. 7). Maximum load on a single outlet = 10A @ 110-120 VAC / 8A @ 220-240VAC. Power Inlet The IEC C-14, 15A power inlet connector provides 110-220VAC, 50/60Hz mains power to the PDU. Powering Up The NXA-PDU-1508-8 When power is applied to the PDU for the first time, the outlets are powered in sequence (1-8), with a delay of 0.5 second between outlets.
NetLinx Programming NetLinx Programming Device IDs The NXA-PDU-1508-8 uses 8 AxLink device IDs, starting from the device ID denoted by the DIP switch: Dev 1: Output 1 + AxLink Power 1 + Input Voltage + Temperature Dev 2: Output 2 + AxLink Power 2 Dev 3-8: Outputs 3-8 Supported SEND_COMMANDs SEND_COMMANDs PERSIST Configures the designated power outlet to return to the last state on loss of power or reset of the PDU. By default, a shipping PDU shall have all power outlets PERSIST setting ON.
NetLinx Programming SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.) ?TRIGGER Syntax: ?TRIGGER- Responds with: TRIGGER-= to report the trigger value in use on the outlet. VER Syntax: VER Responds with: Version (string) - example: "Vx.xx" ZAP! Syntax: ZAP! Restores all settings on the PDU to factory default settings. Unsupported options in responses are ignored / not reported. Channels The PDU uses channels as specified in the following table.
