1. SAFETY

Regarding the safety precautions required for the installation procedure as well as all
other important warnings, please refer to the User’s Manual of the ION-M Optical
Master Unit.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PDU

The PDU can be ordered as component of the ION-M Master Unit or individually, as
well.

2.1. SUBRACKS

The PDU supports 10 outputs providing power to subracks installed downstream. A

dedicated push button and a status LED at the PDU front panel is assigned to each
subrack output, the LEDs being described in detail in chapter 3.5.

During the first start-up of the PDU all 10 subrack outputs will normally default to the
OFF state as indicated by all subrack status LEDs staying dark.
The user may turn ON a particular subrack by shortly pressing the respective button
at the PDU front panel. The corresponding LED will turn to solid green.
As soon as a subrack is switched ON, it will continuously be monitored for overload
conditions by an internal electronic fuse circuit.
M0130ATA.doc User's Guide for Power Distribution Unit (PDU) 07-March-2012 Page 3
 User's Guide for Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
in ION™ Optical Master Unit

If an overload is encountered, the affected subrack output will be immediately turned

OFF and the fault condition will be indicated by the LED going red.
The PDU will automatically make max. 3 attempts – each one several seconds apart
- to turn the failed subrack ON again. In case of success of this auto recovery
process, the LED will show green light again. The number of encountered overload
trip conditions will be deleted from that subrack channel’s internal trip history log after
60 seconds of overload-free operation. If a subrack output fails all 3 recovery
attempts, accumulating them in the trip history log, then this subrack output will stay
OFF, the LED will go continuously red and the PDU will take no further action for this
subrack until user intervention.

This can be accomplished by turning the affected subrack OFF and ON again by
pressing the respective front panel button twice. The PDU will then reset the trip
history log for this subrack channel and try to turn it ON again.
The function of the front panel buttons and the LED status indication can also be
accessed online via the system bus for all 10 subrack channels.

The PDU will internally store the ON/OFF stati of all 10 subracks and try to restore
them after a power-cycling event. The PDU will indicate the progress of this
restoration process by green flashing of the subrack status LEDs.

2.2. FANS

The PDU supports 7 fan outputs that provide both power and individual alarm
interfaces for each connected fan.
After power-up the PDU will automatically switch ON the 7 fan outputs after a few
seconds. This will happen in two groups: first FAN1…FAN4 will be started and after a
short delay FAN5…FAN7 will be started as well. The corresponding fan status LEDs
at the PDU’s front panel will go alive if the fan alarm supervision was enabled for a
particular fan output (for Configuration of the Fan Alarm supervision please refer to
the installation guide of the PDU/ PSU SR 1 HU) .
During overload conditions the fan channels do employ the same trip & auto-recovery
regime as described for the subrack outputs. However, the status indication via the
LEDs (see description in chapter 3.3 Fan-Status LED) and the system bus will only
be active if the fan alarm supervision is enabled for a particular fan channel.
A user-initiated reset of individual fan outputs can only be accomplished via the
system bus since the PDU bears no control buttons for that purpose.

2.3. PSUs

The PDU provides status information for up to 5 PSUs (located in the PSU Subrack
1 HU upstream) via individual LEDs at its front panel (see description in chapter 3.4).
In case of failure of an individual PSU the PDU will try to recover it over and over
again, setting no limit to the number of recovery-attempts.
The PSUs’ live stati are also accessible via the system bus, whereas the auto
recovery is only handled internally and cannot be enforced by the user.

2.4. GLOBAL RE-INIT BUTTON

The PDU features an additional push button at the

front panel that serves as an actuator to trigger
several special functions.
This push button is recessed behind the front
panel and can be accessed through a small
opening by using a suitable tool (e.g. a pen) to
prevent inadvertent operation.

Function 1: Reset electronic fuses

Press down the re-init button for a period of min. 3 seconds to max. 7 seconds and
release it again:
This will delete all internal trip history logs (for subracks and fans). For subracks/fans
that are currently in the tripped state the 3-attempt auto-recovery procedure will be
started as described above.

Function 2: Delete missing PSUs

Press down the re-init button for a period > 10 seconds:

This will disable the alarm supervision of all PSUs that are currently missing/not
installed.
Use this function after changing the PSU configuration to suppress any false PSU-
missing alarm indications.

2.5. SYSTEM-BUS ADDRESS (16-POSITION ROTARY SWITCH) –

CONFIGURATION

The PDU’s system bus address (“0”…”15”) is set by a 16

position rotary switch at the PDU front panel. This is
normally a one-time configuration setting. The selected
address is used for both the RS485/4-wire interface and
the IM-Bus interface. Any change in the address setting
during live operation will become valid immediately,
resetting or power cycling the PDU is not required for
that purpose.
Up to 16 PDUs may be installed in a system. Each PDU
must have an unique system bus address assigned – it
is not possible to have 2 or more PDUs in a system
bearing the same system bus address.
Please pay close attention to the direction of the
engraved arrow in this address switch! It is marked in
the picture to the left-hand side.

3. PDU STATUS INDICATION LEDs

The front panel provides 25 bi-color LEDs for visual status indication.

3.1. DOOR ALARM LED

The PDU provides status information of the rack’s door

(open/closed) via the red/ green bi-color LED at the front
panel. It indicates the status of the door switch.

The live door alarm status is also accessible via the

system bus.

For Door-Alarm LED description please refer to table 3-1.

3.2. EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR - STATUS LEDs

The PDU provides status information for up to 2 external

temperature sensors via the red/ green bi-color LED at its
front panel. It indicates the status of each of the 2 external
temperature sensors.
The live sensor stati as well as their temperature readouts
can by accessed via the system bus.
For description of the External-Temperature-Sensor Status
LEDs please refer to table 3-1.

3.3. FAN-STATUS LEDs

The PDU provides a dedicated bi-color LED for each of the

7 fan outputs. The LEDs indicate the status of each fan.

For Fan-Status LED description please refer to table 3-1

The PDU front panel provides a dedicated red/

green bi-color LED indicating the status of each of
the 5 PSU modules located in the PSU subrack.

For PSU-Status LEDs description please refer to

table 3-1.

3.5. SUBRACK-STATUS LEDs
