6 User’s Guide Smartpack Monitoring & Ctrl Unit, 350003.013, v5-2006-11
2. The Smartpack Controller
The Smartpack controller is a monitoring and control unit used as the vital nerve center
of the DC power plant. You operate the system from the elegant front panel, using three
front keys and the LCD-display. They represent the main interface between you and the
system.
You can also operate the system locally via a PC using Eltek’s PowerSuite application, or
remotely via modem, Ethernet and the Web. The module then utilizes the USB- or RS-
232 ports to interface with a local PC, SNMP or Web adapters. See also chapter
“Technical Specifications”, on page 21.
