CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION  
Unpacking  
Compare the unit and serial number of the equipment to the number on the packing slip located on the outside of the box and  
make sure they match. Log the information on the worksheet in Appendix B: Equipment Setup Worksheet. Inspect equipment  
carefully. If there is damage to the equipment or if materials are missing, contact Raritan technical support at  
732-764-8886.  
Preparing the Installation Site  
The installation area should be clean and free of extreme temperatures and humidity. Allow sufficient space around the Remote  
Power Control unit for cabling and outlet connections. Please review the Safety Instructions listed in the beginning of this  
manual.  
RJ-45 Cables and Adapters  
Important! All Remote Power Control models have an RJ-45 port for connecting to a local EIA-232 device  
such as a computer terminal or external modem. Most serial computers do not have RJ-45 connections,  
therefore, an adapter (Raritan Part No. APCSDB9F) to convert from a DB-9 connector to an RJ-45  
connector and an adapter (Raritan Part No. APCSDB25M) to convert from a DB-25 connector to an RJ-45  
connector are included with each Remote Power Control unit.

the RJ-45 port is located on the end panels of the units.  
With the computer powered ON, connect the included APCSDB9F adapter into the serial port of the computer. Connect one end  
of the included Cat5 cable to the APCSDB9F adapter and the other end to the RJ-45 port on the Remote Power Control unit. Plug  
the Remote Power Control unit into the nearest wall outlet. The unit will automatically power ON.

Power  
As soon as the Remote Power Control unit is plugged into a wall outlet, it powers ON. A green LED on the front panel is  
illuminated. If disconnected from a power source, the unit’s LED is not lit, and devices connected to the unit are not receiving  
power.  
Power On/Off State  
Each outlet on the Remote Power Control unit is individually controlled by an internal relay. Upon initialization of power, the  
status of each outlet will return to the state it was in prior to losing power. For example, if Outlet 1 and Outlet 2 are On and  
power is removed from the Remote Power Control, when power is restored to the unit, the status of Outlet 1 and Outlet 2 will  
return to On.  
Power Up Sequence  
In order to minimize power surges, the Remote Power Control unit sequences power to each outlet in the On state in 0.3-second  
intervals. When power is applied to the Remote Power Control unit, the initialization sequence requires a delay of 10 seconds  
before power is available at the service outlets. Following the 10-second delay, the Remote Power Control unit sequences power  
to each outlet that is turned On. If the REBOOT command is entered for all outlets of the unit, the Remote Power Control unit  
sequences power to each outlet turned On in 0.1-second intervals.

REMOTE POWER CONTROL USER GUIDE  
Circuit Breaker  
In the case of power overload, the circuit breaker automatically trips. Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct  
the problem, and reset the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker button. This button is located on the back panel of the  
PCR8 unit, and on the front panels of the PCS12 and PCS20 units. Power to the unit (electronics, EIA-232 port, etc.) does not go  
through the circuit breaker. This circuit is protected by a ¼ amp hardwired fuse. If an overload condition occurs, the Remote  
Power Control unit status menu is still accessible.  
Circuit Breaker status is reflected on the Status menu. If the breaker is operating properly, the Outlet Circuit Breaker: status  
will read “Good.” When there is a problem with the circuit breaker, or if it is tripped, its status will read “Fault.”  
Serial Connection  
The EIA-232 Serial Connection  
Once the Remote Power Control unit is connected to the local computer, load serial port communications software and configure  
host terminal’s serial communications parameters to match the Remote Power Control unit:

CHAPTER 4: OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION  
Note: Please type all commands carefully. Inaccurate entries can cause error messages and the return to the  
previous menu.  
Remote Power Control Operation  
The PCR8, PCS12, and PCS20 models are configured in the same manner. This detailed Operation and Configuration section  
will use PCR8 screens for illustration and assume that the Confirmation is enabled. Programming differences for the PCS12 and  
PCS20 pertain to the number of outlets shown in the menus (12 and 20, respectively).  
There are eight numbered green LEDs on the front of the PCR8 unit, twelve on the PCS12, and twenty on the PCS20, which  
correspond with each of the Remote Power Control unit’s numbered outlets. When any or all of the LEDs are illuminated,  
corresponding outlet(s) are ON and attached equipment is receiving power. If any or all of the LEDs are not illuminated,  
corresponding outlet(s) are OFF. The PCS12 and PCS20 units also have a red LED that works in conjunction with the Overload  
Audible Alarm and will illuminate if the unit is overloaded.  
Viewing the Status Menu  
The Remote Power Control Status menu allows users to monitor and control the equipment attached to each of the unit’s outlets.  
From this menu, equipment can be turned on, turned off, or rebooted individually or simultaneously.  
When the Remote Power Control unit is plugged into an active power source, it is automatically powered ON. The unit’s Status  
menu appears on the monitor of the computer to which it is connected.
