Raritan Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters

The PX-3000 Series of Inline Power Meters simplifies management of power usage and environmental conditions in the data center, while allowing you to monitor the power on dedicated circuits. There is no need to remove or re-cable IT equipment. Just wire the inline meter into existing circuits and get real-time remote power monitoring, including current (amps), voltage, power (kVA, kW) and energy consumption (kWh) to +/– 1% accuracy. Plus they´re sensor ready to support rack temperature and humidity monitoring.

Several Configuration Options

The PX-3000 series is available in 1U and 0U form factors with AC terminals, IEC C20/C19, Clipsal, and NEMA plugs & receptacles. Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4 circuit models, 100V Single to 415V three phase.

Optimize Your Environment

Support for plug-and-play environmental sensors that allow you to monitor temperature, humidity, airflow, and other environmental conditions.

Web-Based Power Monitoring

Real-time remote circuit-level/line-level power monitoring of current (amps), voltage, power (kVA, kW), power factor and energy consumption (kWh) with ISO/IEC +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy.

DCIM Monitoring Software

Integrates with Power IQ DCIM Monitoring Software to provide custom dashboards that allow you to see real-time power loads, trends, and capacity forecasts.

Accurate Metering

Monitor power on single and three phase lines coming into each rack, make informed capacity planning decisions, and efficiently utilize power resources with 1% billing grade accuracy.

Advanced Alerts

Users can define thresholds and receive alerts via SNMP, email, and syslog when thresholds are crossed for both power and environmental events.

Secure and Encrypted

Directory services support providing advanced authorization options, including permissions, LDAP/S, RADIUS and Active Directory®. 256-bit AES encryption and strong passwords keep you safe.

Intelligent Controller

Built-in connectivity for environment sensors, serial, KVM, USB, wired or wireless network, and asset management tagging makes this the smartest inline meter available today.

LED Display and Alarms

See power consumption at the rack and get alarms for unbalanced loads based on user-adjustable thresholds. Load balance lines and circuits and increase efficiency.

Sampling and Buffering

End users can choose the frequency at which they monitor power and the amount of data they gather to fine tuning power visibility.

Why add intelligent power monitoring to your dumb power strips?

Power needs to be monitored to understand the impact of efficiency measures and to qualify for credits. Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters enable data to be gathered frequently over a period long enough to ensure that times of peak demand have been captured. This helps managers:

• Maximize IT asset utilization
• Improve capacity planning
• Determine where to set power thresholds and alerts

By running data centers at higher ambient temperatures, air conditioning systems don’t need to work as hard. So adding Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters and plug-and-play environmental sensors to basic power strips allows IT administrators to:

• Monitor temperatures at the rack to confidently meet ASHRAE cool air inlet temperature guidelines
• Set high and low temperature thresholds and receive alerts when ambient temperatures become high enough to pose problems for servers or low enough that they are wasteful of energy

Just as access to servers should be secure, so should access to the power that controls them. Intelligent power monitoring through Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters offers secure access with 256-bit AES encryption and strong passwords.
They also provide:

• Advanced authorization options, including permissions and LDAPS, RADIUS and Active Directory
• Flexible management interfaces that support HTTP, HTTPS, IPMI, SMASH-CLP, SSH, Telnet, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 with encryption

Monitor the power on dedicated circuits feeding stand-alone equipment

With virtualization, physical servers work harder and consume more power. Individual racks may be challenged by the additional power and cooling demand. Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters enable IT managers to:

• Check for hot spots. By placing temperature sensors on each rack, changes in temperature and airflow can be detected – especially useful since these factors may affect sections of the data center differently or in unintuitive ways
• Set both high and low exhaust temperature thresholds to provide alerts in the event of a fan failure or a blocked vent

Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters also benefit environments that utilize cloud computing. Since these IT architectures are lights-out facilities, remotely monitoring power and environmental parameters is very important.
Dominion PX-3000 Series Inline Meters allow IT administrators to add remote power and environmental monitoring and management to their existing infrastructure without extensive retrofitting.
