Panamax/Furman is announcing, as part of their ongoing partnership with Crestron, a suite of TCP/IP and two-way serial driver modules for Panamax/Furman BlueBOLT-compatible power management products and UPS solutions.
The new modules promise to enhance functionality and accessibility to installed systems by combining the point-of-use local control provided by Crestron’s control and automation systems with BlueBOLT’s cloud-based remote power and energy management platform.
The Panamax M4315-PRO and M4320-PRO power management products include both TCP/IP and RS-232 serial control interface cards, allowing dealers to select the interface that best suits their control application.
Both interfaces provide control over eight discrete AC outlets with real-time voltage and current feedback, in addition to an internal temperature sensor.
If dealers choose to use the preinstalled TCP/IP interface card with a Crestron control system, BlueBOLT functionality is retained, enabling simple remote access, energy management, optional scheduling of conservation events, email alerts, and even auto-rebooting of connected network devices.
The Furman F1500 and Panamax MB1500 advanced battery-backup solutions include preinstalled two-way serial interface cards, with the option of upgrading to TCP/IP control through the BlueBOLT-CV1 card (sold separately). These BlueBOLT-compatible products offer four outlet control banks, critical and non-critical load-shedding configuration options and an IR control link for front-projection displays.
The drivers are available from Crestron’s Integrated Partner Program website at http://www.crestron.com/partnerships/integrated_partner_program.
