Interchangeable Monitoring Device
The Interchangeable Monitoring Device (IMD) is the core behind the Geist Upgradable line of power
products. The IMD can be replaced and upgraded to allow data-centers to future-proof their locations.
Basic
The Basic Geist Upgradable PDU is the baseline for the GU line of products. It is built with the IMD-
01X module, and provides low cost power distribution with the option to upgrade to add local metering
and/or remote monitoring and other features in the future.
Metered
The Metered Geist Upgradable PDU is a locally metered option for the GU line of products. It is built
with the IMD-01D module, and provides a local display for viewing current draw (Amps) and power
(Kilowatts), with the option to upgrade to add monitoring and other features in the future.

a center button. The functions of these buttons are as follows:
Decrement to the previous channel.
Increment to the next channel.
Toggle between scrolling and static display modes. Holding this button
for 10 seconds will perform a network reset, restoring the default IP
address and resetting user account information.
