Question: | What are the voltage and current ratings? |
Answer: | Short answer: 15 Amps, 120V. Details: The internal web server will operate over an input voltage range of 90-240VAC. The NEMA 15 style plugs and power cord are designed for and have safety ratings for 120VAC operation only. The total input current is limted to 15A. A thermal safety overload protector will trip automatically when current exceeding 18A is applied. The quiescent power consumption is approximately 3 watts. Maximum power consumption occurs when all circuits are switched on, about 7W. |
Question: | What is the current version of firmware? |
Answer: | The current version is on the update page Find the revision history here, and firmware update instructions here. |

Question: | How can I control the switch from my own applications? |
Answer: |
Download the latest User Utility.
Your application can use HTTP or serial port communications. There is also a C++ example with source.
This program displays the controller name, switch names and switch status via HTTP. You can also toggle
the switches on and off. Also included is PowerMan support for Linux. Windows users can download a Perl interpreter to run the script version. This script (ver 4.0) is compatible with all DLI power controllers. |
Question: | Can you develop custom hardware for my application? |
Answer: | Gladly. We've done this for many customers. Please call with your requirements |
Question: | Do you support PowerMan? |
Answer: | Yes, absolutely. The latest code is added to the tarball. Download the latest User Utility here. |
