Introduction
Intelligent power sequencer
The PSQ108 is an intelligent power sequencer with 8 x IEC C13 outputs which
can be remotely switched using AUDAC Touch™ via TCP/IP or RS-232 connection.
It also features f ront controls for manual control. Several PSQ108 devices
can be daisy chained together so that only one IP address is needed for
controlling all units. The sequential power on/off function reduces the inrush
current of the connected devices when power is turned on and by using the
configurable delay times, the order in which the devices turn on can be set.
Other features include short circuit and overcurrent protection by means of a
16A circuit breaker, voltage and current monitoring, surge protection with LED
indicator and a front USB charging port (max 1000mA).

Overview of front panel
The PSQ108 front panel offers a basic control of the intelligent power
sequencer and monitoring. An extensive custom configuration and remote control
can be done on AUDAC Touch™.
-
Circuit breaker
This is a 16A circuit breaker that also acts as the main power on/off switch of the power sequencer. If a short circuit or overcurrent occurs, the circuit breaker will automatically switch over. -
SPD LED indicator
The LED is driven by the monitor circuit and will illuminate when surge protection is operational and connected devices are protected from electrical surges.
If the LED does not illuminate, surge protection is not working anymore and the unit should be inspected by a technician. -
Voltage and current display
The 7-segment display shows the drawn voltage and current through the power sequencer. -
Lock button
Pressing this button 2 seconds will lock or unlock the manual control buttons. -
Manual control buttons
The power sequencer has 8 power outputs. Those outputs can be switched on or off manually using manual control buttons. -
Delayed power On/Off
Pressing this button for 2 seconds will start the delayed on or the delayed off sequence. By default, the outputs turn on from output 1 to 8 and turn off from output 8 to 1 with 1 second intervals.
A custom sequence with custom order and delay can be configured using AUDAC Touch™. -
USB charger
USB port 5V 1A max. (charging only)
Overview of rear panel
-
Link ports
Up to 20 PSQ108 intelligent power sequencer devices can be daisy chained using link ports. Each RJ45 socket can be either an input or an output. -
Ethernet port
An ethernet port is available for TCP/IP control. PSQ108 has 5 WebSockets available for remote control. -
RS232/485 control port
The PSQ108 can be controlled by a third party device using the RS232/485 control port. -
IEC C13 outputs
The PSQ108 is equiped with eight IEC C13 outputs which can be remotely switched using AUDAC Touch™ via TCP/IP or RS-232 connection or buttons on the front panel. -
AC inlet
AC power inlet is provided by an IEC C20 connector.
Chapter 3
The PSQ108 can be configured and controlled with AUDAC Touch™. With the power
sequencer, you will have fundamental features like voltage and current draw
reading and surge protection, but most importantly you will be able to control
how you want to power on or off the system using any third-party devices or
through the widgets on a dashboard created in AUDAC Touch™. ASCII commands are
available on the product page for third-party control.
Control screen
Control screen of the PSQ108 has buttons for delayed on, delayed off and
individual relay toggle. It also shows the voltage and current draw reading
and the surge protection status.
Delayed on/off
Delayed on and delayed off buttons trigger on and off operations with the
delay times set in the power sequencer settings. The default delay times for
delayed on are set as 1 second to 8 seconds, respectively, from relay 1 to 8,
whereas delayed off delay times are set as 1 second to 8 seconds,
respectively, from relay 8 to 1. The relay delay times can be adjusted as
needed for specific applications on the power sequencer settings to ensure
proper sequencing and protection of equipment.
Relay 1-8
In addition to delayed on and off operations, individual relays can be
controlled seperately using these buttons.
Voltage
Voltage indicator gives the voltage reading on the PSQ108 AC power inlet.
Current
The current indicator gives the reading of the total current draw from the
power outlets of the PSQ108.
The current draw limit is 16A.
Surge protected
When the surge protection is operational and the connected devices are
protected from electrical surges, the indicator will be green. If there is
something wrong with the protection circuit, the indicator will be red.
Device settings
Device name
Changes the default name of the PSQ108 that appears on the device list of
AUDAC Touch™.
Device address
The default device address of the PSQ108 is C001 and the addressing range is
001- 999. The device address is important for delivering the ASCII command to
the right device (e.g. delayed power on ASCII command for the device with C001
device address #|C001|TOUC|DELON|0|U|)
Firmware version
The installed firmware version on the PSQ108.
Power Sequencer settings
Device power-on action
Delayed-on feature of the PSQ108 can be enabled or disabled in this dropdown
menu. The device will either perform the delayed on sequence according to the
configuration in the delay settings or it will perform no action.Power-on
action is delayed on by default.
Delay settings
Delay time and relay status can be configured under delay settings. Each relay
has up to 99 seconds of delay time for on and off sequences. Relays can be
enabled or disabled individually or together. In other words, if desired, one
or more relays can be excluded from the power-on and power-off sequence. It is
also possible to keep a relay in its last state during a power-on sequence.
After a change in any configuration, the save button will be highlighted.
Press the save button to save the configuration to the device.
Network settings
The network settings of PSQ108 can be changed in the network tab of the side
menu. DHCP is not supported and the default IP address is 192.168.0.181.
Factory reset
Factory reset without IP address settings
Press LOCK + output 2 + DELAY ON/OFF simultaneously for 10 seconds
This operation resets the device address, relay status, delay on/off times,
delay on/off enable and power on setting.
Factory reset including IP address settings
Press LOCK + output 3 + DELAY ON/OFF simultaneously for 10 seconds
This operation resets the device address, relay status, delay on/off times,
delay on/off enable, power on setting and the IP-address.
