Crestron PC-350V-18 – 18-Outlet Vertical Networked Power Controller with Surge Protection

Product Overview

The Crestron PC-350V-18 is an 18-outlet vertical networked power controller and conditioner with surge protection and per-outlet power metering. Designed for AV equipment racks and server closets, it provides individually switched 120 VAC NEMA 5-15R outlets, real-time current monitoring, voltage protection, and EMI/RFI filtering. Network control is available via TCP/IP through a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, enabling remote management via a Crestron processor, web browser, or XiO Cloud.

Product Description

The PC-350V-18 mounts vertically in a standard equipment rack at 1.73 in. wide x 48.10 in. tall, fitting in a 0U rear rack mount position. It accepts a 12A @ 120 VAC input via a NEMA 5-15P plug with a 9.8 ft detachable power cord. Surge protection operates in Line-Ground, Line-Neutral, and Neutral-Ground modes at 3640 Joules with a 600V clamping voltage and 1 ns response time. EMI/RFI filtering is applied to 12 of the 18 outlets. Adjustable under- and over-voltage cutoffs protect connected equipment from power anomalies. Cycle delay and startup delay are configurable per outlet for controlled power sequencing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the PC-350V-18 differ from the PC-350V-12?
A: The PC-350V-18 has 18 individually switched outlets; the PC-350V-12 has 12. Both accept 12A @ 120 VAC and share the same surge protection and EMI/RFI filtering specifications. The PC-350V-18 is 48.10 in. tall versus the shorter PC-350V-12.

Q: Can the PC-350V-18 be controlled by a Crestron processor?
A: Yes. The PC-350V-18 connects via Ethernet (TCP/IP, CIP) and can be controlled by any Crestron 4-Series or 3-Series processor, as well as via web browser or XiO Cloud for standalone management.

Q: Does the PC-350V-18 automatically shut off if it detects a wiring fault?
A: Yes. The unit includes wiring fault detection that shuts off output if reversed polarity or a missing ground is detected at installation, protecting connected equipment from improper wiring conditions.
