Choose the rack monitoring you need
Start with the level of visibility and control your site needs, then select the input rating, rack format and outlet mix. UK-manufactured iPower products are available through Data Room Direct with a five-year manufacturer warranty.
REM or Lite?
Choose REM for compact whole-PDU monitoring through a local display and network connection. Choose Lite when you also need optional temperature/humidity sensing or daisy chaining of compatible PDUs.

| Range | Energy monitoring | Outlet switching | Sequential start-up | External monitoring | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| REM | Whole-PDU monitoring | No | No | No | Compact monitoring for server rooms and network racks |
| Lite IP1 standard models | Whole-PDU monitoring | No | No | Optional temperature/humidity sensors | Energy and environmental visibility with daisy chaining |
| IP1 ACU | Whole-PDU monitoring | No | No | Optional sensors and access-control accessories | Advanced overall monitoring and cabinet integration |
| IP2 ACU | Whole-PDU and individual outlet monitoring | No | No | Optional sensors and access-control accessories | Measure individual equipment energy use |
| IP3 ACU | Whole-PDU and individual outlet monitoring | Yes | No | Optional sensors and access-control accessories | Remote power cycling of individual outlets |

The Lite IP1 models currently quoted by DRD provide overall monitoring. Optional Lite outlet monitoring/switching builds can cover up to 12 monitored/switched sockets and must be specified separately. Sensors and other accessories are sold separately.
Ratings and configurations
REM and Lite are single-phase ranges rated up to 32A. The standard ACU IP1-IP4 metering range is 0-63A; selected configurations supporting loads up to 125A are available on request. The rating, input connection and protection of the actual quoted unit govern the installation.
Need A/B power resilience?
An automatic transfer switch performs a different job: it allows suitable single-cord equipment to use two independent AC feeds. See the iPower rack ATS.
