Expert Power Control 87-1210-18 increases operational reliability and energy efficiency in AV/IT racks. It features integrated type 3 surge protection (L-N, L/N-PE), with status accessible via network. The device includes switching with a high-inrush relay: max. 4 seconds at 30 A and max. 20 ms at 80 A. It measures key electrical parameters such as current (A), voltage (V), phase angle, power factor, frequency (Hz), active power (W), apparent power (VA), and reactive power (VAr).

Encrypted communication is provided via SSL (TLS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and SSH, ensuring demonstrably fewer and shorter outages of critical IT and AV infrastructure. The system can detect AV and IT problems at an early stage through proactive power monitoring and environmental monitoring. It offers measurably increased energy efficiency (green IT and AV), resulting in power cost and CO2 savings through controlled switching off of devices.

The device can be integrated quickly and easily anywhere with an open API: REST API, HTTPS, SNMP, Telnet, and MQTT. It allows full control for up to 20 consumers with 0 U thanks to vertical installation. Users can fix AV and IT problems quickly and effectively with remote reboot capabilities or the self-healing function (automatic restart) thanks to integrated watchdogs.

Connections include 1 IEC C20 mains connection (max. 16 A, 230 V), 16 load outputs IEC C13 (max. 10 A), 4 load outputs IEC C19 (max. 16 A), 1 network connection RJ45 (10/100 Mbit/s), and 2 sensor inputs (RJ45) for plug & play sensors.
