`INTRODUCTION TO THE RPC SERIES
`
`INTRODUCTION TO THE REMOTE
`POWER CONTROL SWITCH (RPC)
`
`The BayTech RPC-Series is a full-featured AC power management
`solution that provides an easy way to control power of remote equipment.
`From your office or from anywhere, the RPC will TURN ON, TURN
`OFF, OR REBOOT remote equipment.
`
`There are nine different RPC models; four models operate at 115 VAC,
`15 Amps; three models operate at 115V AC, 20 amps; and two models
`operate at 230 V AC, 10 Amps.
`
`115 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 15 Amp
`
`RPC-2:
`
`Six receptacles and an EIA-232 connection.
`
`RPC-2 MD01:
`
`RPC3-15:
`
`RPC-5:
`
`Six receptacles, ELA..-232 connection, and a
`2400 bps Modem.
`Eight receptacles, Ethernet and EIA-232
`connections.
`Four receptacles (15 amps per receptacle),
`Ethernet and EIA-232 connections.

`RPC SERIES QUICK START (RPC-2, RPC-2A, A."'D RPC-4)
`
`RPC SERIES QUICK START
`
`"Quick Start" is designed for users familiar with BayTech products who
`need a fast setup and familiarization. Detailed infom1ation on each of the
`functions and steps of operation and configuration may be found
`beginning at pages 20, 29, and 37 of this manual. Each "Quick Start" will
`discuss similar models.

`RJ08X007 cable, connect the serial port of
`your computer to the RJ-45 port labeled
`"EIA-232."
`
`Load serial port communications software.
`Set serial communications parameters to
`9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
`parity.
`
`NOTE: The RPC-4 is configured in a similar manner. This quick
`start will reference the RPC-2 menus. Programming differences for
`the RPC-4 pertain to the number of receptacles shown in the
`menus (8 vice 6) and the current monitoring function. The current
`monitoring function is discussed separately on page 59.

`buildup, do not coil the power cord when in use. Do not use
`extension cords. Do not attempt to make any intemal changes to
`the power source. Do not attempt to modify any portion or
`component of an RPC Series Unit unless specifically directed to.
`BayTech must perform any intemal operations.
`
`CAUTION: High-voltage surges and spikes can damage this
`equipment. To protect from such power surges and spikes, this
`unit must have a good earth ground. There is an earth ground
`connection next to the circuit breaker.
`
`CAUTION: Before removing or replacing any cables or power
`cords, tum off main power switch located on the RPC Series Unit.
`Communication to the unit will be disrupted while power is off
`
`CAUTION: Do not exceed the AC current rating for the selected
`modeL (See Appendix A "SPECIFICATIONS" for each RPC
`model).
`
`CAUTION: Although the power switch is tumed OFF, the unit is
`not totally isolated from the power supply. In order to be
`absolutely removed from the power supply, the power cord must
`be unplugged from the unit.
`
`CAUTION: For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED
`EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be
`incorporated in the fixed wiring. For PLUGGABLE
`EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the
`equipment and easily accessible.
`
`Applying power illuminates a green LED on the front panel of the RPC.
`When the power switch is off, devices connected to the unit are not
`rece1vmg power.

`INSTALLATION
`
`PO\VER ON/OFF STATE
`
`Each receptacle is individually controlled by an internal relay. Upon
`initialization of power, the status of each receptacle 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 RPC, the status of Outlet 1 and
`Outlet 2 will return to "ON" when power is restored to the RPC.
`
`POWER UP SEQUENCE
`
`In order to minimize power surges, the RPC sequences power to each
`outlet in the "ON" state in 0.3-second intervals. When power is applied to
`the RPC, the initialization sequence requires a delay of 1 0 seconds before
`power is available at the service receptacles. Following the 10-second
`delay, the RPC sequences power to each outlet that is turned "ON." If
`you choose the option requesting the RPC to reboot all c01mected
`equipment, the RPC sequences power to each outlet turned "ON" in 0.1-
`second intervals.
`
`CIRCUIT BREAKER
`
`In the case of power overload, the circuit breaker automatically trips.
`Determine the cause of the tripped circuit breaker, correct the problem
`then reset the circuit breaker by depressing the circuit breaker switch.
`Power to the RPC-5 base unit (electronics, EIA-232 port, etc.), supplied
`by "IN 1 ", does not go through the circuit breaker (this circuit is protected
`by a \1.4 amp hardwired fuse). If an overload condition occurs, the RPC
`status menu is still accessible. For the menu to reflect an "On" status for
`the circuit breaker, a power cord must be attached to the "IN" receptacle.
`If all circuits are closed, the circuit breaker status menu will indicate "On."
`If the circuit breaker is tripped, the circuit breaker status will indicate
`"Off." If no power cord is attached to the "IN" receptacle, the circuit
`breaker status will indicate "Off', indicating there is no power available to
`the "OUT" receptacle.

`
`RJ-45 CABLES AND ADAPTERS
`
`IMPORTANT: All RPC 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 is provided with this unit to
`convert from a DE-9 connector to an RJ-45 connector (BayTech
`Part No. 9FRJ45PC-l). An adapter to convert from a DB-25
`connector to an RJ-45 connector is also available from BayTech,
`upon request (BayTech Part No. 25FRJ45PC-l).
