Overview

The PC-350V series power controllers are vertical rack-mountable power controllers designed to

occupy no rack space (zero RU). They provide 120VAC power distribution, switching, surge

protection, noise filtering, and energy monitoring for Crestron® control systems, AV systems,

computers, and other equipment. All individually-switched outlets are protected and monitored,

including outlets with EMI and RFI noise filtering (labeled as FILTERED). Ping monitoring and

power cycle scheduling are adjustable to ensure connected devices are always operational.

Power cycle delays and sequencing are adjustable to ensure a system powers up reliably every

time. The switched outlets are also individually controllable via a control system to enable

independent switching of devices, load-shedding, and other custom power control functionality.1

Line voltage, current, power, and energy usage monitoring at each outlet is possible for

troubleshooting and to prevent device failures. An external temperature sensor PC-TS can be

purchased separately to monitor temperature within the equipment rack or room. Network

connectivity allows for setup and operation using the web UI, with extensive custom control and

monitoring capabilities enabled through integration with Crestron Home™ OS, the XiO Cloud®

service, and Domotz™ solution.1The power controllers can also be integrated with a custom-

programmed Crestron control system via SIMPL programming software.

Power Conditioning

The power controller includes the following power conditioning features:

lSurge Protection — Disconnects power to all outlets if surge protection is compromised

lOvercurrent Protection — Disconnects power to all outlets or the last outlet that drew

current exceeding the set threshold values

lUnder/Over Voltage Cutoff — Disconnects power to outlets if the line voltage exceeds the

set threshold values

lThermal Breaker — Disconnects power to all outlets in case of an overload condition

lEMI/RFI Noise Filtering — Prevents electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that

can negatively impact sound and video quality

lWiring Fault Detection — Detects faulty wiring of the incoming AC power line and shuts

off power to outlets until the fault is corrected2

Adjustable Turn On Delay

The power controller can be set to the following turn on delays:

Startup Delay — The delay sequence between outlets turning on can be set for 1 to 10 seconds.

Startup delay ensures that the connected devices power up in a proper sequence and do not

overload the circuit or generator.

Startup delay is initiated by disconnecting the power controller from the power source and then

reconnecting it. It can also be initiated remotely using the web UI, Crestron Home, XiO Cloud, or

Domotz.1

Cycle Delay — Up to 300 seconds of delay can be set between the turn off and turn on of an

individual outlet.

Remote-Controllable Switched Outlets

Any of the power controller outlets can be turned on or off individually over the network using

the web UI, a Crestron control system, or Domotz. This feature helps to resolve technical issues

or power down the select components to save energy when not needed. Through integration

with a control system, custom functionality can be programmed to enable control from a touch

screen, keypad, remote, or mobile device. Sequential power-up and power-down functionality

can be enabled through programming of the control system, with select outlets designated as

always on.

The power controller integrates seamlessly with Creston Home, enabling the end user to reset

connected faulty devices.

Energy Monitoring

By sensing the incoming line voltage and individual device loads, the power controller facilitates a

host of solutions for monitoring, automating, and troubleshooting a system.

lVoltage monitoring tracks and logs fluctuations in the power line, helping to identify and

document problems with the power utility or building wiring.

lEnergy monitoring per outlet tracks and logs the real power consumption (watts), current

draw (amps), and energy usage (watt-hours) for each connected device.

lIndividual device usage can be tracked to inform the scheduling of maintenance and future

purchasing decisions.

Ambient Temperature Sensing

The temperature sensor PC-TS (available separately) connects to the power controller and

provides a complete equipment protection solution by monitoring the ambient temperature

within the equipment cabinet or room. The power controller sends alert notifications through a

Crestron Control Processor when PC-TS detects abnormal temperature conditions.

9 • PC-350V-12 and PC-350V-18 Product Manual — Doc. 9212A

Ping Monitoring

The power controller can be configured to detect an unresponsive device by sending it a ping

command at regular intervals. If the ping request is not returned after a preset number of

continuous pings, the outlet feeding the monitored device cycles off and on to reboot the device,

quickly restoring normal operation without any human intervention.

Scheduling

Recurring schedules can be set up to power cycle devices to ensure they are operational when

needed. The executed schedules are recorded in the logs of the web UI and XiO Cloud.

Built-In Logging

Events such as overcurrent conditions, over/under voltage conditions, over-temperature

conditions, ping failures, and outlet switching activity can all be logged as they occur, to

document the time and cause of problems and to track device usage. All sensor readings are

logged to record a detailed history of events and energy usage over time.

Remote Management & Control

The power controller integrates seamlessly into any system or facility. It can be set up and

managed using the web UI. Built-in SNMP support enables integration with third-party IT

management software, allowing network administrators to manage one or many networked

power controllers in an IT-friendly format. The power controller can be integrated with a

Crestron control system via Ethernet to enable control and monitoring through a touch screen,

handheld remote, or mobile device.

UL® 1449 Certified

Surge protection for PC-350V series power controllers has been tested and certified by UL as

compliant with the UL 1449 safety and performance standard for surge protective devices

(SPD).

Notes:

1. XiOCloud, Crestron Home, Domotz, and Crestron control system sold separately.

2. The installer is responsible for proper wiring and grounding of this and all connected equipment according to

applicable electrical codes, accepted guidelines, and best practices. Proper wiring and function of the AC power

source should be verified prior to connecting the power controller or any other equipment. Use of this product

does not negate the responsibilities of the installer and end user to exercise all appropriate and required

measures for safe and reliable installation and operation.
