In-Line Power Meter
InfraPower 1-Phase Inline Meter is the most effective PDU enhancement approach to upgrade your basic 1-Phase PDUs with local monitoring plus remote management. Single feed in-line meter simply connects between the single basic PDU and the power source. Dual feed in-line meter model is available for providing metering features to two basic PDUs in the a same rack. Users also benefit from network IP saving, as two basic PDUs can be accessed remotely by one single IP. Real time power monitoring is available via the upgraded PDU with the Inline Meter.
Key Features
-
The InfraPower Inline Meter simply connects between the existing basic PDU and the power source. It eliminates the need to replace every rack PDU installed, dramatically reducing the project implementation time.
-
Both vertical and horizontal mounting kits are provided. The sophisticated 2.8" touchscreen meter display can be set to vertical or horizontal layout, whichever is most convenient to the installation.
-
InfraPower offers 3 kinds of remote monitoring solutions for users' selection - Free IPM-04 management software ( supports up to 800 PDUs ), Web-base GUI or Integration to 3rd party DCIM via SNMP.
-
A Single Feed In-Line Meter is the cost efficient metering solution for one basic PDU. Dual Feed In-Line Meters are also available, providing metering features to two basic PDUs in the same rack. Users can also benefits from network IP saving, as two basic PDUs can be accessed remotely by one single IP.
-
The sharp and highly visible 2.8" touchscreen LCD provides local data of current (AMP), voltage (Volt), power (KW), power factor, energy consumption (KWh) of entire PDU. This data has a metering accuracy to within +/- 1%.
-
InfraPower Inline Meter is designed to support daisy chain connections. It allows up to 16 Inline Meters to be cascaded via Cat6 cables - All the PDUs with Inline Meters are remotely accessed via a single network IP.
Inline Meter with 2.8” Touchscreen LCD
The 2.8” color LCD with touchscreen provides a sharp and highly visible display of kWh, kW, Power Factor, Volt, Amp, Temp. & Humid.
Apart from metering, InfraPower Inline Meter provides ports for daisy chain and sensor connection.
W meter is field replaceable unit which is hot swappable without the need to power down the PDU and the mission critical equipment. Moreover, it provides real-time local & remote power monitoring with +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy.

Power Management Over IP
Remote Power management helps reducing manpower and hence improving uptime and productivity. It also benefits users with capacity planning and increasing the overall efficiency of the data center. InfraPower® Inline Meter offers 3 kinds of remote management solutions for users’ selection.
Integrated Web-based Management Software (GUI)
A web-based GUI is integrated with our Inline Meters. It is ideal for some users who simply require the power
monitoring of power sources over IP.
Control Through 3rd Party DCIM via SNMP or REST API
Nowadays, many data centers apply the DCIM ( Data Center Infrastructure Management ) in order to centralize the management for monitoring power, cooling and environmental factors across facilities and IT systems. InfraPower Inline Meter supports SNMP V2/V3 and REST API integration and hence user can remotely manage the power via their DCIM.
Free PDU Management Software (IPM-04)
InfraPower Manager IPM-04 is the free, powerful and user friendly power management software provided with our Inline Meters. The Administrator can remotely manage their In-line Meters & PDUs and their respective sensors via a web browser. The Windows based software consolidates management of max. 1600 single & three phase In-line Meters or PDUs via 50 IP dongles. 5 concurrent user access licenses are part of the IPM-04 bundle, for achieving the demand of multi-user requirements in data center operations.
IPM-04 provides complete PDU monitoring / control and reporting functions for your data center.
