DC Distribution Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring
DC Distribution Remote Monitoring provides a big benefit by allowing remote troubleshooting of DC radios, repeaters, RF amplifiers, or other device. Users can remotely monitor load conditions at the panel over the internet using the built-in web server and the graphical user interface. The panel can send text or email alerts if a fault occurs.
Remote power control
Users and managers can remotely power each individual output on and off over the I.P. connection. This means that connected loads such as radios or repeaters can be shut down remotely, or power cycled on and off in order to reboot themselves. This saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary site visits, or solving a problem for sites that are hard to reach.
ICT Distribution Series 2
Standard, Intelligent and Broadband DC load distribution panels featuring I.P. enabled models for remote monitoring and remote power control.
ICT Distribution Series 2 is a family of fused DC load distribution panels that allow multiple radios, RF amplifiers, repeaters, or other devices to be powered from a single high current power source.
Every model is 1RU high, with twelve outputs and a high current rating. Fuses are mounted on the front for easy monitoring and replacement.
The Standard and Intelligent models are for 12 and 24VDC applications and use ATO and MAXI type fuses, and the Broadband model, specifically designed for -48VDC, uses GMT fuses.
- Space saving design for limited rack space.
- More output contacts per panel.
- Easy to install and configure.
- DC Distribution remote monitoring & remote power control.
Key Features
- Every ICT panel meets all needs for space, ease of installation and maintenance, high current rating and number of output circuits.
- I.P. enabled Intelligent and Broadband models help increase uptime and quality of service by providing the ability to monitor DC power conditions remotely.
- Potential problems can be identified by sending alarm messages by email or text to site managers and administrators.
- Remote Power Control can help reduce operating costs by avoiding unnecessary service calls.
- Automatic load shedding on the Remote Power Control models allows non-critical loads to turn off automatically at a user defined voltage setting, extending battery life until primary power is restored.
ICT Distribution Series 3
200 Amp Dual Bus Breaker and Fuse DC Load Distribution Panels.
The ICT Distribution Series 3 are DC load distribution panels that provide dual-bus architecture with a 200 amp peak load rating. Each bus provides 6 outputs and supports 100 amps peak.
They are available in Standard models or Intelligent fully managed versions that include TCP/IP for DC distributions remote monitoring management and power-cycling using HTML or SNMP.
The Distribution Series 3 from ICT provides an extremely cost-effective approach to providing dual-bus capability with unmanaged or fully managed TCP/IP models, and a choice of fuse or breaker protection of the outputs.
ICT Distribution Series 3 is ideal if you:
- Are looking for a cost-effective dual bus power distribution either for redundancy or to support mixed voltages and polarities.
- Want to distribute or manage DC power to radios, repeaters, microwave radios, WiMax, routers, bridges, multiplexers.
- Have other industrial DC power applications like security and surveillance, transportation, process control, and DC in-building power.
Key Features
- 200A peak system current capability (100A per bus) provides ample power for most requirements.
- Dual bus design is ideal for configuring redundant systems, or where mixed voltages and polarities are present. Bus A can support one voltage such as +12VDC while Bus B supports a different voltage and polarity such as -48VDC.
- All models provide independent Form C alarm contacts.
- Intelligent models provide a host of software features including: load monitoring, remote output on/off control, automatic load shedding, network watchdog (pinging), and email alarm notifications.
- With five digital input contacts, the site monitoring sensors such as door, smoke and water alarms are connected and utilize the email alarm notification capability.
