PowerEgg2 detects failures of a power supply (110/230V single phase, max. load 8A) and can also be controlled with a relay. It can be connected to any device with digital inputs (DI) and/or digital outputs (DO). The controlling and controlled circuits are electrically isolated, and low-voltage closing contacts are used only for power detection and output control.

PowerEgg2 is a “pass-through mains outlet” with two IEC-320 connectors – a plug (C14) at the input, and a socket (C13) at the output. It combines two functions in one device:

• DETECTOR: Detects the presence of mains voltage at the input (indicated by a change-over contact)
• CONTROL: Disconnects the output voltage (controlled by external DC voltage or a contact)

Features:

• Detector input: Voltage detection (110/230V)
• Detector interface: Connect to any dry contact DI (digital input)
• Detect by: Any DI (Digital Input) on Poseidon, Damocles, or I/O controller
• Control output: Turns on/off the 110/230V output voltage (max 8A) – can be connected to any digital output
• Control interface: Connect to any DO (digital output) – relay, open collector, or 3–12V voltage
• Control by: Any DO (Digital Output) on Poseidon, Damocles, or I/O controller

Applications and usage:

• Alarm activation in case of a power failure
• Monitoring the output voltage of a UPS input/output
• Remote server power up / shutdown
• Emergency cooling / ventilation trigger
• Disconnecting load in case of a battery power supply
