AMETEK SurgeX, a leader in surge protection, diagnostic intelligence, and remote monitoring solutions for the AV market, has launched the Vertical Series+ in EMEA. This smart power distribution unit (PDU) pairs the high-quality, reliable technology integrators expect from SurgeX with the cloud-connected power quality analytics, fleet management and risk prevention capabilities of the SurgeX CONNECT platform – allowing partners to protect high value technology and monitor installations remotely, from anywhere in the world.
“Our Vertical Series+ smart PDU provides an intelligent, flexible power distribution solution, allowing integrators to save rack space with its vertical form factor and array of configurations suited to safeguarding costly AV installations,” said Justin Peyton, director of sales EMEA, AMETEK SurgeX. “Its compatibility with our SurgeX CONNECT platform delivers advanced 24/7 remote power management and monitoring functionality, which allows partners to improve their service offering as well as save time and money by reducing expensive service call outs. Issues which can be resolved by a simple reboot, for example, can now be handled quickly, easily, and remotely, ensuring more uptime for customers and saving costs.”
Vertical Series+ smart PDU comes in 8, 16, and 24 receptacle configurations, offering integrators a versatile solution that can be easily installed with or alongside rack-mounted equipment. The Vertical Series+ smart PDU offers analytical software, sequencing and monitoring capabilities, including remote power down and reboot, sequencing, power cycling, advanced scheduling, and AutoPing. Designed to tackle the increasingly complex, processing-heavy AV systems of today, the Vertical Series+ smart PDU is compatible with popular control systems for integration in residential and professional applications.
The Vertical Series+ joins SurgeX’s Protect + Connect product line. All Protect + Connect products are compatible with SurgeX CONNECT; an innovative cloud-based solution that allows for monitoring and managing an entire fleet of compatible SurgeX devices in a single, centralised dashboard. This integration brings transparency and flexibility to remote power management, saving time and money for both end users and integrators.
