Elcom’s Basic PDUs are easy to use and plug-in. These devices are capable of supplying electric power to all IT devices as well as Telecom infrastructure. It has a wide range of input connections depending upon your power consumption. We also provide a wide range of output connections depending upon your power consumption in the IT racks. A Single Phase Rack Mount and a Three Phase Rack Mount is available in either a horizontal (1U, 2U) or a vertical mount (0U) as per your needs.

An Intelligent PDU also known as iPDU in short, comes with advanced features like power metering, environment monitoring , remote outlet control. It can be easily integrated with all available building and energy management systems. It has the capability to monitor all electrical parameters such as Voltage, Current, Active, Reactive and Apparent Power, Frequency and Power Factor of connected load, by using supervisory software using MODBUS over TCP/IP, via web browser using HTTP, supports FTP, DHCP, SNMP and Telnet protocols. It also allows user to switch on or off a particular outlet or equipment remotely.

Form factor of 0U and 1U is available as standard for all the variants. Non-standard dimensions or customized requirements can also be supported on request. Single Phase and Three Phase Rack Mount iPDUs are available in several Metered or Switched options as follows :

Trend analytics of all these parameters can be provided employing Elcom’s ‘Data Center Infrastructure Management (E-DCIM)’ Software.

E-DCIM

Elcom’s E-DCIM Software enables users to monitor their IPDUs. It is a platform that facilitates the data center operator to monitor the energy consumption and other parameters like temperature and humidity. Monitoring can be done locally or remotely depending on your application and user can also configure various parameters like response timeout and delay between polls. A and can also set alarms for breach of set threshold values which come to you in the form of mail notification (SMTP based) or SNMP traps

Elcom’s Branch Monitoring Solution consists of intelligent Inline Meter, which is used to measure and monitor the energy consumption and power supply parameter for the basic Rack-PDU remotely. The device can be setup for Single Phase as well as Three Phase supply. The Inline Meter supplies & measures electricity to the connected device (load) via CEE plugs. The Inline Meter consists of two CEE plugs, one Input CEE plug and another is Output CEE plug.The input voltage of the connected device goes through the Output CEE plug of Inline Meter.

Elcom’s Static Transfer Switch (STS)/Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is an electrical device that allows instantaneous transfer of power sources to the load, thereby allowing systems administrators to manage 99.999% uptime for their datacenter infrastructure.
Available in 1 U profile and for rated current of 32 Amps, Single phase, Elcom’s STS ensures superior switching time of 4 –10 milliseconds. This means that if one power source fails Elcom STS switches to the back-up power source so quickly that the load never recognizes the transfer made.

• Provision of USB for firmware upgrade
• TFT Display (Energy Parameters and selected source)
• Provision of a Relay Contact for connecting external hooter
• Primary source selection switch
• Communication – SNMP V1, HTTP, Modbus TCP, Modbus over RS485
• Event Logging

Elcom offers Environment Monitoring Device (EMD) to cater to the environmental monitoring needs of new-age data center facilities. It ensures increased life and improved performance of IT equipment and it covers various aspects of data center environment, such as Temperature, Humidity, Smoke leakage, Water leakage, door-open alarm, etc

Temperature Sensor: (EMD)

A significant temperature change could be disastrous for a data center or server room due to the sensitivity of server equipment and thus maintaining a stable temperature is critical to IT system reliability. Elcom offers a reliable Temperature Sensor which can be connected to the iPDU for monitoring temperature round the clock. These sensors should be placed on individual racks to measure the heat generated by equipment and near the vents of the air-conditioning system to measure the overall efficiency.

Humidity Sensor: (EMD)

Monitoring humidity in a data center is as important as monitoring the temperature. High humidity can cause corrosion to the components and low humidity can cause electrostatic discharge, which can permanently damage your equipment. Elcom provides Humidity Sensors which can be connected with your iPDU and can monitor the humidity in the server rooms. This in turn helps increase the life of your equipment and improve the performance of your data centre.

Water Sensor:

Water Sensors monitor water collected at the bottom of the racks.The water is accumulated due to the condensation.Water sensors are placed at the lowest point (wherever water would tend to collect) on the floor, and underneath any pipe junctions.

Door Sensor:

Elcom offers dry-contact sensors that detect the opening and closing of the rack doors.

Smoke Detector Sensor:

Smoke detectors are installed in the Racks or areas to be covered by the PDU/EMD to detect any fire hazard

Elcom’s Branch Monitoring Solution consists of intelligent Power Measurement Device (PMD) bundled up with high quality current transformers to do complete branch monitoring of a Rack or floor mounted PDU. Power Measurement Device is a reliable source for monitoring energy consumption of various branch circuits in Data Centre. It is an easy to use and easy to install as it is a plug-and-play device. It can be integrated with a wide range of current transformers depending on power consumption. Power Measurement Device can be installed without disturbing the continuity of operation in a Data Center, which makes it a preferred choice of the IT administrators for monitoring power consumption of various Branch Circuits. Branch Monitoring can be introduced for single phase and three phase circuits and with a range of channels starting from 1 channel to up to 36 channels.

Elcom is the first company in the world to offer an Upgradable Rack PDU for Data Centers. We offer a Basic Rack-PDU which can be upgraded to a Smart Aggregate Metered PDU any time without a shutdown of the PDU and the connected servers. This is a feature which offers economic advantages as you have option to of buying a Basic PDU from Elcom which can be later upgraded to a Smart Rack-PDU at an additional cost.
