Black Box EME1P2O-005 Power Switch - 220VAC Normally Open
Overview
The Black Box EME1P2O-005 is a 220VAC power switch designed for remote control of non-networked devices. It features a Normally Open (NO) contact, meaning the circuit is closed (power is supplied) only when the switch is activated. This unit is ideal for integrating legacy equipment or devices without built-in network management capabilities into a controlled power environment, such as a smart power distribution unit or an automated system. The included 5-foot (1.5-meter) cable simplifies installation in various rack or cabinet setups.
Compatibility
This power switch is compatible with any 220VAC device that requires a simple on/off control signal. It is commonly used with:
- Non-IP surveillance cameras requiring external power cycling.
- Legacy network switches or routers without remote power management.
- Industrial control systems where external power sequencing is needed.
- Any 220VAC equipment that benefits from scheduled or remote power cycling for energy saving or system reset purposes.
Installation Notes
The EME1P2O-005 requires a 220VAC power source to operate its internal relay. The output cable is rated for the connected device's load. Ensure the total current draw of the controlled device does not exceed the switch's capacity. The Normally Open configuration means the controlled device will only receive power when the switch is energized. For applications requiring power to be normally on and switched off, a Normally Closed (NC) variant would be necessary.
