Description
Transform any basic PDU in your data center into a smart, metered PDU with our Inline Meter PDU. It ensures reliable and advanced energy measurement, providing insight into energy consumption. Let us know your requirements, and we will create the ideal Inline Meter PDU for your project at no cost, with fast delivery and attractive prices. Suitable for vertical mounting with brackets for flat surfaces or horizontal mounting as two Inline Meters side by side in a 19-inch server rack.
How it works
The operation of our Inline Meter is simple yet highly effective. Installed between the power source and the equipment to be measured, the meter calculates power consumption by measuring current and voltage. Measured values are displayed on a screen or transmitted to a monitoring system for analysis and reporting.
Benefits of our Inline Meters:
- Simple Transformation: Effortlessly transform a non-intelligent basic PDU into a smart, measurable PDU with the choice between vertical or half 19″ setup.
- Configuration Flexibility: Available in various configurations such as 1-phase 16A, 3-phase 16A, 1-phase 32A, 3-phase 32A, and 3-phase 63A, with freedom to determine cable length.
- Billing-Level Energy Measurement: Accurate measurement of energy consumption at billing level, including kW, kVA, V, A, and Power Factor per inlet.
- Powerful Remote Monitoring: Built-in SSL security and various protocols enable remote monitoring and management.
- Robust Processing Speed: Built-in processor with a minimum 100 MHz clock speed and 8 MB SPI Flash for optimal performance.
- Scalability: Up to 50 PDUs with Inline Meters can be cascaded via a single Ethernet IP address, allowing for flexible scalability.
- Mounting Options: Installable both vertically and horizontally, ideal for 19-inch server racks.
- Simple Operation: Easy installation between power source and equipment for accurate calculation of power consumption.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Administrators can monitor power consumption in real-time, identify inefficient equipment, and optimize configurations.
- Energy Usage Optimization: Obtained data assists in optimizing energy usage, reducing costs, and enhancing data center efficiency.
- Full Control: Transform existing basic PDUs into smart, measurable units for full control over power distribution and efficient data center management.
Cables & Plugs
Your Inline Meter comes with an input and output cable at the desired length specified by you. The cable, specially produced by Schleifenbauer, is LSZH-specified and ultra-flexible. An oversized diameter reduces heat generation and lowers energy consumption. In addition to the standard cable connection, a terminal connection can also be selected if desired.

Measurement
The measurements on your PDU provide insight into energy flows and enable you to manage them. You can read measurements locally or remotely via the databus. Schleifenbauer has made its bus redundant. A single cable interruption will not affect the readings or control of the PDUs; it will attempt to access via the alternative route on the ring.
