From the home screen on the display, select Status.

Tap Input to see the status.

NOTE: If the PDU does not have an input meter installed, the input status screen will only show Breaker State: Open/Closed.

Input

Voltage (phase-to-phase)		The present phase-to-phase input voltage.
Current		The present input current from the AC utility power source per phase in amperes (A).
Active Power		The present active power input (for all three phases) in kW.
Apparent Power		The present apparent power input (for all three phases) in kVA.
Reactive Power		The present apparent power input (for all three phases) in kVAR.
Breaker State		The present disconnect device status, either Open or Closed.
Frequency		The present input frequency in hertz (Hz).
Power Factor		The ratio of the active power to apparent power.
Energy Parameters	Active	The total energy consumption in kWh since the time of installation or since the number was reset.
	Reactive	The total energy consumption in kVARh since the time of installation or since the number was reset.
	Apparent	The total energy consumption in kVAh since the time of installation or since the number was reset.
	Energy Reset Date	The date where the energy parameters were last reset.

Tap Output to see the status.

NOTE: The different meters support different output parameters. The PDU display may not show all of the output parameters listed.

Output

Voltage		The present output voltage for each phase and average across the three phases in volts (V).
Current		The present output current for each phase and average in amperes (A).
Active Power		The present active power (or real power) output for each phase in kilowatts (kW). Active power is the portion of power flow that, averaged over a complete cycle of the AC waveform, results in net transfer of energy in one direction.
Reactive Power		The present reactive power for each phase in kVAR. Reactive power represents energy alternately stored and released by inductive and capacitive loads in the system.
Apparent Power		The present apparent power output for each phase in kVA. Apparent power is the product of RMS (root mean square) volts and RMS amperes.
Power Factor		The present output power factor for each phase. Power factor is the ratio of active power to apparent power.
Displacement PF		The present output displacement power factor for each phase. Displacement power factor is the ratio of active power to apparent power considering the fundamental frequency (60 Hz) only, and neglecting the harmonics.
Frequency		The present output frequency in hertz (Hz).
Breaker Status		The present disconnect device status will be displayed as Not Installed, or Open/Closed if disconnect device is installed.
Energy Parameters	Active	Active energy - The total active energy consumption since the unit was energized, in kWh.
	Reactive	Reactive energy - The total reactive energy consumption since the unit was energized, in kVARh.
	Apparent	Apparent energy - The total apparent energy consumption since the unit was energized, in kVAh.
Voltage		The phase-to-phase output voltage in volts (V).
Total Active Power		The present total active output power (for all three phases) in kW.
Total Apparent Power		The present apparent power output (for all three phases) in kVA. Apparent power is the product of RMS (root mean square) volts and RMS amperes.
Total Reactive Power		The present total reactive power in kVAR.
Total Power Factor		The present total power factor.
