SpecPower DC SMARTStart Obtains NEBS Level 3 Certification
Spectrum Power Management Systems' DC SMARTStart PDU earns NEBS Level 3 Certification from Stork Garwood Laboratories, Inc.
STATE COLLEGE, PA, November 14, 2008 /Electrical PR News/ -- Spectrum Power Management Systems, a leading designer and manufacturer of AC and DC Power Distribution Units, today announced their DC SMARTStart PDU received NEBS Level 3 Certification from Stork Garwood Laboratories, Inc.
Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) testing is required in the U.S. for equipment operated in the carrier networks of Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs). To obtain NEBS Level 3 Certification, the DC SMARTStart was subject to a multitude of extensive tests regarding Ambient Temperature and Humidity, Equipment Handling, Resistance to Fire, Earthquake Survivability, Vibration, Airborne Contaminants, ESD, Emissions, and AC Power Fault. Complete compliance to all NEBS specifications ensures the user that the equipment being installed is compatible with a typical RBOC central office.
Leonardo Marsala, Director of Sales and Marketing for Spectrum Power Management Systems, stated, "This is an outstanding achievement that our business unit is certainly proud of. NEBS Level 3 is the highest level of conformance to NEBS specifications. Although commonly required for the telecommunications industry, it is a major test of quality that is extremely valuable for any organization utilizing network equipment. It ensures that our DC SMARTStart will operate properly in adverse conditions without interfering with other important devices."
The DC SMARTStart is designed for power distribution and circuit protection for up to 12 individual DC loads at -48, +12, or +24/+28 VDC. The unit provides the operator the ability to remote power cycle any or all twelve solid state breakers as well as the two ROCB mains breakers. This product is currently used in unmanned surface vessels, combat vehicles, command posts, tactical wheeled vehicles, and solar powered network infrastructures. It is also suitable for other applications including wind turbine power plants and oil refineries. No matter what application, it is an ideal solution for any device that has a DC supply and operates in a hard to get to location. The unit features numerous methods of interfacing to set prescribed user functions including SNMP or a Visual Basic (VB) interface to program the power up/down sequence and power up/down delays for each channel, along with LVD and OVD thresholds.
