Safety considerations

The TruFit™ PDU is designed for commercial applications and should be handled with appropriate care,
following these guidelines:
Keep surroundings clean and free from excess moisture.
Do not operate the PDU system close to gas or electric heat sources.
The system is not intended for outdoor use.
The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters stated in the manual.
Keep the cabinet doors closed and locked to ensure proper cooling airflow and to protect personnel
from dangerous voltages inside the unit.
If service or routine maintenance is required:
Ensure all power is disconnected before performing maintenance.
Ensure the area around the PDU is clean and uncluttered.
Observe all DANGER, CAUTION and WARNING notices affixed to the inside and outside of the
equipment.
Only authorized service personnel should perform maintenance on or service
the PDU system.
To provide sufficient isolation protection when working upstream of the PDU,
open the respective source feeder breakers contained within the PDU.
Prescribing to this maintenance method reduces the risk of electric shock
due to backfeed.
