1. Introduction

The SurgeX Axess ELITE+ is an AC power distribution unit with power conditioning, control, and monitoring

with independently IP switchable AC receptacles and current monitoring for individual outlet. Designed for

mounting on the rack with supplied mounting brackets or sitting on a counter with supplied rubber feet. The

internalwebserverprovidesconguration,outputcontrol,monitoring,Individualoutputcurrentmonitoring

and retrieval of data logs. Multiple security and communication interface options are supported.

Axess ELITE+ incorporates SurgeX’s patented technology, Advanced Series Mode

surge suppression

andEMI/RFIlteringtechnology.ThisprotectionsafeguardstheACoutlets.ItalsoprovidesInrushCurrent

Elimination circuitry (on receptacles 1 and 2).

Two Auxiliary Relay outputs are provided for simple control of other equipment. Connection terminals are

provided for each relay’s Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed connections.

The extensive programming capabilities of the Axess ELITE+ provides advanced sequencing and scheduling

operations. Triggers can be programmed to activate on an “if X then do Y, then do Z when no longer X”

basis. Trigger sources include various AC power measurements, scheduling, and AutoPing. Actions include

turningreceptaclesonandoff,cyclingareceptacle,executingpreviouslydenedsequences,andputting

a unit into shutdown. For example, an action can be created to power cycle a network appliance if it fails to

respond to a series of pings.

(fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to other type of power outlet may result

in a shock hazard.

• Install the unit in such a way that the Wall socket-outlet should be readily

accessible.

• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting and use only the supplied

hardware to attach the mounting brackets

• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this Unit

• If a socket-outlet is not accessible to the equipment, a socket-outlet shall be

installed.

• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.

• Disconnect the Unit from the power outlet before you install or connect

equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when you cannot verify

grounding. Reconnect the Surge Unit to the power outlet only after you

make all connections

• UnitinstallationinstructionsthatrequirevericationoftheProtective

earthing connection of the socket-outlet by a Skilled person.

• This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely

to be present.

• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This type of connector

carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment).

• Do not exceed a total leakage current of 3.5 mA

• Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been

removed

• Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to

avoid a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different grounds.

• This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Repairs are to be

performed only by factory-trained service personnel.

• The Unit is intended to be installed and operated by a skilled person in as

controlled location with restricted access.

• The ambient operating temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack

environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.

Ensure the ambient operating temperature of your rack environment does

not exceed the rated ambient operating temperature for the device.

• Ensure the Unit is mounted securely and evenly.

• To avoid possible electrical shock and equipment damage, Use only the

supplied hardware.

stored to its internal memory. The

data is presented in two groups: Time

Stamped Events and Historical Data.

Time Stamped Events are recorded,

with a date and time of occurrence when

a condition meets established criteria.

Axess ELITE+ uses a Real Time Clock

(RTC) synced to an Internet time server

and backed up by an internal battery.

For the most accurate time stamps

and to eliminate clock drift, we suggest

verifying the NTP connection.

The types of events which may be

recorded are:

• Triggers

• Power Outage

• Network Events

• Outlet Changes

• Shutdown Events

• Firmware Upgrades

User Manual

4.6.6.1 Threshold with Samples

The Threshold with Samples trigger uses

several measurements to decide when

toact.Thetriggercanbeconguredto

act quickly, or slowly, depending on the

number of measurement samples used.

A new sample is available every 50ms,

with the minimum samples being used

for a trigger being 1 sample, and the

maximum being 20 samples. Threshold

with Samples triggers are evaluated

every time a new sample is available.

Based on the below “New Trigger”

example below, the trigger will alarm

or turn on after 5 of any consecutive 10

samples are above 140V.

4.6.6.2 Autoping

The Autoping trigger uses a ping

commandonaperiodicbasisdenedin

address will respond. This trigger type is

useful if there is a problematic piece of

or if internet connectivity is inconsistent.

4.6.6.3 Schedule

time of the Axess ELITE+ to easily

congure single and recurring events

based on time. Only Alarm Actions are

used for this trigger.

6. Security

Axess ELITE+ has been designed with security as a priority. All ports and features may be changed or

disabled.

6.1 Authentication

Axess ELITE+ supports basic and secure authentication for users and network connections.

6.1.1 802.1X

802.1X network authentication may be enabled for networks requiring supplicant authentication.

6.1.2 SSO (Single Sign-On)

Axess ELITE+ users may be congured to use either Internal or SSO (Single Sign-On)

authentication. Internal authentication uses basic usernames and passwords assigned by

the administrator on a per-unit basis. SSO authentication uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory

Access Protocol) to authorize users, and determine their level of privileges, using Microsoft®

Active Directory. While it is possible to use LDAP to authorize users without SSL encryption,
