. NPM Introduction
NPM can monitor, control and manage the power supply of many equipments in cabinets in data room all over the world through LAN or WAN. For meeting with the restrictions and requirements in different environment, NPM supplies many connection methods; can be connected through RJ45 in the LAN and WAN; can be accessed and controlled through standard network management station.
. Function Description
1. Monitoring: Through the display interface and knob on the NPM, can monitor the total load current, individual load current, power on/off state of individual outlet, temperature/humidity state, smog state, water logging state, door open/close state. 2. Controlling function: Controlling the power on/off of outlet; Configuring the interval when sequential power on/off. 3. Keeping the original state: Keeping the original state of each outlet when resetting. 4. User-defined alarming: the Min/Max limits value of total load current, individual outlet load current and temperature/humidity. 5. System default alarmingAlarming when the total load current over limited value, or the individual outlet load current over limited value, or individual outlet faults, or smog appears, or water logging or door opening happens. 6. Multi-alarming ways: The running indicator flashes and the buzzer alarms on the NPM controlling panel; the problem displays (flash) on the web managing interface and the PC buzzer alarms; automatically send e-mail to system administrator; SNMP sends alarm information. 7. Daisy-chain functions: can be daisy-chain connected at most 10 PCS using serial or radicalized connection method. 8. User management: User right configuration 9.

. Hardware Introduction
1. Powering on & Self-check The buzzer will make a sound when NPM is connected with AC power source, the panel LED is on and sequentially display (for example: ( (it means digitron is normal, any different display is fault), software version number ), serial number (For example: ), products series number
), finally display the OUTLET No.1 and its value, and the running
indicator flashes, M/S indicator on means this NPM is master and off means this is slave NPM. 2. Current, Temperature & Humidity Monitoring OUTLET No.1 and OUTLET No.2 are used to monitor the relative outlet value (OUTLET No.2 has the function of adding 8 port or reducing 8 port when display). 3. Water logging & Smog Monitoring 3.1 When the water logging sensor monitoring the water, NPM screen displays same time. 3.2 When the smog sensor monitoring the smog, time. 4. Outlet Fault Monitoring When one outlet fault (For example: A1), the NPM screen will display relative fault (for example: the buzzer alarms at the same time. 5. Individual Current, Total Current, Temperature & Humidity over Limit Monitoring 5.1 When individual load current, total load current, temperature & humidity value are lower than limited minimum, the NPM screen displays as A.1 (that means the NO1 outlet is lower) 5.2 When individual load current, total load current, temperature & humidity value are higher than limited maximum, the NPM screen displays as A.1.. (that means the NO1 outlet is higher) 6. Self-checking Parameter Monitoring Make the OUTLET N0.1 display self-checking parameter for one minute. 7. Stopping Alarm Monitoring Click the RESET button to stop alarm for one minute (When NPM4101 has alarm information, the knob is not
