Installation

Instructions

1. Using appropriate hardware, mount PDU to rack (see Mounting section for additional
instructions.
2. Plug PDU into de-energized 15 or 20 Amp branch circuit receptacle
3. Connect devices into PDU's output receptacles.
turned off until all devices are connected to PDU
4. Turn on branch circuit to energize PDU.
5. Power on devices. Sequential power up is recommended to avoid high inrush current.

Guidelines

• If the PDU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater
than 45°C.
• Install the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is
not compromised.
• Mount the PDU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
• Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit.
consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current
protection and supply wiring.
• The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from over-current conditions. A
Listed circuit breaker is required within the building installation. The circuit breaker should
be sized according to the PDU's nameplate ratings and local/national electrical codes.
• Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained.
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit.
The PDU must be connected to an earthed socket-outlet.
• The PDU is intended for Restricted Access Locations only and only qualified service
personnel should install and access the PDU.
• For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so that the input plug or appliance coupler may be
disconnected for service.
• Sequential power-up of devices powered by the PDU is recommended to avoid high inrush
current.
• Caution: Disconnect all power cords before servicing.

Branch Circuit should be sized based on the PDU's nameplate electrical rating. A 12 Amp rated
PDU is intended for use on a 15 Amp Branch Circuit, while a 16 Amp rated PDU is intended for use
on a 20 Amp Branch Circuit.
