Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this AtlasIED IP power distribution system. This
document is designed to provide a high-level overview of the IP power
distribution system product family including common features to all models.
AtlasIED recommends visiting www.atlasied.com and
downloading the full manual for the model purchased. The AP-IP discovery
software and other related guides for the AtlasIED AP-IP power distribution
systems can also be downloaded.
Note: AtlasIED requires that AP-IP power distribution systems be
installed by a qualified electrician or IT technician. The manual must be read
in its entirety before starting the installation. The AtlasIED AP-IP power
distribution systems meet the Californian law SB-327. Each unit has a unique
password assigned to it for logging into the device. The AP-S15HRIP is a LAN
(Local Area Network) device and requires a secured firewall for network
operation. AtlasIED recommends consulting an IT specialist before
installation.
Unit Features and Installing the AP-IP Power Distribution System
-
Rack Mount Ears – Install the power strip rack ears (if applicable) and secure the unit in an equipment rack. Note : The AP-S15HRIP is shipped with a rack mount kit so it can be rack mounted into an AtlasIED wall mount half rack or a 19″ rack. It can be mounted alone or with any AtlasIED half-width products such as the DPA-102PM, PA40G / PA60G, or MA40G / MA60G in a 19″ 1RU space. (Notes 2 & 3 on page 11)
-
Temperature / Humidity Probe Port – Install the temperature/humidity probe in the rear port marked “Sensor”. Note: The unit will not function without the temperature probe installed. The front panel alarm LEDs will flash indicating the probe is not installed.
-
External Display Port – Install the remote LED data display into the rear port marked “Display”. Note : Installation is not required for operation. This remote AP-LEDIP magnetic data display comes with a 10ft cable so it can be placed on the rack where data viewing is preferred. This display can show AC mains voltage, current, rack temperature, and humidity. The preferred data value to be shown can be set in the WEB interface. The other readings can be accessed by pressing the data display viewing switch located on the front of the display. One of the main features is the display of the IP address assigned to the power strip. Press and hold the data display viewing button and the assigned IP address will scroll.
-
Fault Cable – Install the fault report cable in the 3.5mm port marked “Fault Report”. The cable is a 2-conductor 3.5mm wire with bare ends allowing it to interface with an external device that supports contact closure GPIO. The port is normally closed (NC) when the unit is active and opens when the AC power goes off or if an alarm fault is detected such as voltage, current, temperature, or humidity. Note: Installation is not required for operation.
-
IEC Power Socket – Install the power cord and retainer clip.
-
Power Switch – When in the On position the switch will illuminate red.
-
Ethernet Cable – Install and connect to LAN (Local Area Network).
-
AC Ground Indicator – When the unit’s power switch is On position and the AC Ground indicator is illuminating red, it means the power strip does not have sufficient earth ground for safe operation. In some cases, we have found that the use of a non-factory power cord can cause faults.
We recommend using the power cord that is shipped with the unit. If the factory power cord has been found to be working correctly and the Ground Fault indicator is still illuminating, the AC mains outlet the power strip is plugged into does not have sufficient earth ground. This outlet should be checked by an electrician. -
Status Indicators – Refer to the Alarm Indicators, Front Panel Switches, and Turning On the Unit sections.
-
120V AC Mains Outlet – If the outlet indicator is illuminated green, the outlet has AC power present.
Opening the Carton
Each carton contains:
- AP-IP power distribution system
- Rack ears & screws (Except AP-S158IP)
- Power cord
- Power cord retainer clip & screws
- Temperature/humidity sensor probe
- Fault cable and a data display
Note: Do not plug the unit into an AC mains source until the following steps have been completed:
Connecting to an AC Mains Source
- Installation must be done by a qualified electrician or IT technician.
- Connect only to a 15A NEMA5-15 outlet. Any modification of the AC plug will void the warranty.
- Using the supplied AC cord, if the unit’s power is switched On and the AC Ground indicator is illuminating red, it means the power strip does not have sufficient earth ground. Shut off the power and have an electrician check the outlet you plugged into for proper earth-grounding.

Alarm Indicators, Front Panel Switches, and Turning On the Unit
- Ensure no equipment is connected to the power distribution system.
- Place the power switch in the On / up position. The switch will illuminate red.
- Both the AC Ground & AC Fault LEDs should be off. If either of these indicators is illuminated, stop the installation and refer to the manual.
- Factory default on – The power distribution system is programmed from the factory to sequence on all the outlets from 1 to 5 or 8 depending on the model. Each outlet has an associated indicator located on the front of the unit that is specific to the numbered AC outlet. These indicators will illuminate green when the associated numbered AC outlet is active and will have AC volts present.
- Individual AC outlet On / Off indicators can also turn an output on or off. Press the switch firmly to activate. Factory default is set so the switches are active but can be disabled in the WEB Interface.
- The AP-IP Power strips do not require a network to operate. It is needed for programming, remote monitoring, to run a scheduled sequence, or to execute the auto ping feature. Each outlet can be turned On / Off manually. The Over / Under Voltage, Over Current, Humidity Warning, Temperature Warning, Remote Fan Colling, and Spike / Surge protection work without a network connection.
Accessing the Unit’s WEB User Interface
Each AtlasIED AP-IP power distribution system includes a unique set of
features and configurations. Ethernet connectivity is not required for basic
operation, but to take full advantage of the settings such as alarms, sequence
timing, and scheduling, the AP-IP power distribution system’s control panel
must be accessed via the LAN (Local Area Network) or local computer. External
software is not required for operation. The software is embedded in the power
distribution system in what is called the Web browser GUI control panel
interface. Follow the steps listed below to access the onboard Web control
panel.
- All AtlasIED AP-IP power distribution systems ship (factory default) in DHCP mode.
- Plug a Cat5/6 cable into the unit’s LAN Ethernet port and then into a router that is set to DHCP. The router will issue an IP address to the AP-IP Power Strip.
The assigned IP address is the specific location of the unit on the network. This address will allow access to the unit’s Web GUI interface.
Finding the IP Address
1.75″ Using the AP-LEDIP external display is the fastest way to discover the IP Address. Plug the AP-LEDIP display into the AP-IP power distribution system’s display port. Press and hold down the viewing selection button until the IP address starts to scroll across the display. An IP address example would be 192.168.1.138. Write down the IP address number to enter it later into a Web browser. Note: IP Discovery software is also available at www.atlasied.com. For specific IP address operations refer to the manual. Note : The LED display can show AC mains voltage, current, rack temperature, rack humidity, or the IP address. Press the button on the front of the display to cycle through the display modes to access the different data screens. OH 4 5 AP-S15HRIP AC Ground (45mm) IP Addressable Power Distribution Unit OC/OV
The magnetic display can be placed outside of the door when closed. Press and hold the button to display the IP Address. Press once to change the display data.
Logging Into the Unit
To access the unit’s Web GUI, open a web browser like Google Chrome®,
Microsoft® Edge ® or Safari®. Each unit has a unique password assigned to it.
Enter the unit’s factory default password as shown in the illustration below.
The password is the last 4 digits of the MAC address. Find the MAC address
label on the chassis. Example : A MAC address looks like
(40-D8-55-10-D0-66). Input D066 (No dash) as the password to access the unit.
Note: For “0” equals zero. Passwords can be changed in GUI.
Web GUI User Interface
There are 5 pages to the AP-IP Power Strip WEB Interface: Status, Alarm
Settings, Schedule Setting, Network Settings, and Configuration settings.
Note: It is very important to select Save after each entry or
configuration change or the information will not be applied.
- Status Page – The Status page is also the home landing page. Use this page to monitor the AC Mains Voltage, Current, Temperature, and Humidity, as well as view alarm status. Each AC Outlet can be individually controlled to be On or Off, along with triggering a system On / Off sequence.
- Alarm Page – This device has multiple system alarms that can trigger a visual or mechanical alarm warning. Specific alarm settings can be set for Temperature, Humidity, Current, and Over / Under AC Mains Voltage. Each alarm can be enabled or disabled. An alarm activity log shows the history of when an alarm was activated.
- Scheduler Page – Each outlet can be set to be On or Off all of the time, or it can be assigned to a timed 24/7 schedule individually or as part of a group sequence.
- Network Settings Page – This page allows for configuring DHCP or Static IP mode. Note: The unit is set to DHCP mode out of the box. Each outlet has an individual IP monitoring ability. Any network equipment that is connected to the same network can have an auto ping monitored for operation. Each outlet can be configured to receive an auto ping test, and if no response is received from the monitored product, the associated outlet will be rebooted. The unit’s password can be changed. A factory reset can also be performed.
- Configuration Page – On this page, several unit settings can be configured such as customizing the units or individual outlet names, and assigning an outlet to a grouped management. The front panel outlet On / Off switches can be disabled. Rack temperature can be monitored, and if needed, a fan can be assigned to an outlet and configured to come on at a specific temperature. The external LED display viewing can be configured. Delay Sequencing between outlets can be set from 1 second to 99 seconds.
Important Programming Tips
-
On the left side of the GUI, there are access buttons to the following pages: Status, Alarm, Scheduler, Network Settings, and Configuration.
Navigate through each page to get familiar with it, then start programming. -
Each page & section has a SAVE button. Don’t forget after each entry to select SAVE or the settings will not be applied.
-
Read all information notes on each page. This will be helpful in understanding why certain features may be grayed out. Some features cannot be assigned to multiple functions. Example: Outlet 8 for the AP-S15IP & AP-S158IP cannot be assigned to grouped sequence or to a 24/7 schedule if assigned to the fan feature.
-
It is important to refresh the Web browser to be assured current data is being viewed. Web browsers have a cash memory and need to be refreshed to clear the cash memory and reload the data.
Factory Reset Switch
The Factory Reset switch is located in the front panel as indicated in the
picture below. Insert a small object like a paper clip into the hole to access
the switch. Gently press and hold the switch inward for 3 seconds, then
release. The unit’s outlets and the display will shut off and turn back on
indicating the Factory Reset was successful. The Factory Reset switch will
reset all functions that were previously programmed and will also reset the
unit to accept DHCP IP addresses. Note: Any custom passwords will be replaced
by the last 4 digits of the MAC address. Refer to the section Logging Into the
Unit for details.
Plugging Equipment Into An Outlet
After the unit has been installed in a rack, the equipment can be connected to
it. There are a few things to consider before starting. Note: The AtlasIED IP
power distribution systems must be installed by a qualified technician. If the
unit is plugged into an A/C outlet and the Ground Status Indicator is lit Red,
this means the outlet does not have an acceptable earth ground. Before
proceeding, have an electrician correct the outlet ground wiring. Visit
atlasied.com to obtain an installation manual. Read the
manual entirely before proceeding with the installation of this product.
-
Total current draw of the power strip cannot exceed the 12A continuous signal or 15A IT / Audio applications or the AC Mains 15A Breaker may trip.
Every product should have a current draw rating, add up all the equipment’s total current and make sure it doesn’t exceed 1440W.
Note: Pay special attention to audio amplifiers, they typically consume the most power compared to processors or controllers. -
Audio amplifiers should turn on last, and off first in a sequence.
-
If a computer or router needs to be on all of the time, an outlet can be programmed to stay on for that operation.
Rack Mounting the AP-S15HRIP
A rack kit is included with the purchase of the AP-S15HRIP. The AP-S15HR width
fits most rack cabinets that are classified as half-width. There are no
industry standards for these types of racks and rack widths may vary between
manufacturers. The AP-S15HRIP can be mounted into an AtlasIED wall mount half-
width rack or a 19” rack. The AP-S15HRIP can be mounted with any AtlasIED 1/2
RU products or mounted alone, but requires a rack mount kit. For half-rack
designs there needs to be a minimum distance of 9.25″ between rails. AtlasIED
recommends checking the distance between the rack rail opening before
proceeding. Note: Two AP-S15HRIP units cannot be mounted side by side.
