ePowerSwitch 8XS
1. DESCRIPTION
ePowerSwitch 8XS is a power distribution and control unit that enables power management of 8 devices
through an RS-232 or RS-485 connection.
The ePowerSwitch 8XS has two separate power inputs of 10 Amp to increase the security and the load
available on the power outlets.
This device is intended to be connected to an ePowerSwitch Master or to the VizioGuard Environmental
Monitoring Systems. Thanks to the RS232 and RS485 interfaces and its easy to use ASCII protocol, the
ePowerSwitch Satellite is also the ideal solution to control power outlets through the serial connection of a
KVM switch, a console server or a PC.
The number of the controlled power outlets can be extended by connecting the ePowerSwitch Satellite
unit to an ePowerSwitch Master 4M+, 8M+, 8M+R2, 8M+/32 or VizioGuard.
