TRIPP LITE PDUMH32HV Metered Rack PDUs Owner’s Manual

Important Safety Instructions

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these instructions may affect your warranty

Important Warnings

• Operate the PDU at indoor temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (between 0°C and 40°C) only.
• Provide adequate protection against excess currents, short circuits, and ground faults in accordance with local and national electrical code, such as NEC in the U.S.
• The mains socket that supplies the PDU should be near the PDU and easily accessible.
• The PDU provides convenient multiple outlets but it DOES NOT provide surge or line noise protection for connected equipment.
• The PDU is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or extension cords or adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.
• The power requirement for each piece of equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the individual outlet’s load rating.
• The total power requirement for equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the maximum load rating for the PDU. Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the PDU housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the PDU, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Installation

Note: The illustrations may differ somewhat from your PDU model.

1 Determine Installation Configuration.
The PDUs covered by this owner’s manual support these installation configurations: 2U, 1U and 0U rackmount; wall-mount and undercounter. See below for installation configurations pertaining to your specific model. Choose a configuration and follow the installation instructions in the appropriate section of Step 1 before proceeding to Step 2.

Note: Regardless of installation configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting configurations may vary.

1-1 2U Rack Installation. Attach the included brackets to the side of the PDU with the included screws (A). After installing the brackets, position the PDU in the rack and install four user-supplied screws through the unit’s brackets and into the rack rails (B).

1-2 1U Rack Installation. Attach the PDU to the rack by inserting four user- supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into the mounting holes of the rack rail as shown.

1-3 0U Rack Installation. Part 1: Remove the screws (C) attaching the mounting brackets to the PDU, change the orientation of the brackets as shown and reattach the brackets. Use only the screws supplied by the manufacturer or their exact equivalent (#6-32, 1/4” flat head). Part 2: Attach the PDU vertically by inserting two or more user-supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into mounting points in the rack or rack enclosure.

1-4 Wall Installation. After repeating Part 1 above, attach the PDU to a stable mounting surface by inserting two or more usersupplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into secure mounting points on the mounting surface.

1-5 Under-Counter Installation. After repeating Part 1 above, attach the PDU to a stable mounting surface by inserting four user-supplied screws (A) through the PDU mounting brackets (B) and into secure mounting points on the mounting surface.

2 Attach the input plug of the PDU to a grounded outlet. Insert the plug directly into a grounded outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or refrigerator).

Note: Select models include an input plug adapter that converts plug types for various applications. See below for details.

NEMA Adapter Connection (Optional – PDUMH20HV Only): The PDUMH20HV includes a plug adapter that adds a NEMA L6-20P plug to the input power cord. Use this adapter only if you will be connecting the PDUMH20HV to a NEMA L6-20R outlet. Insert the IEC 60320 C19 connector A of the adapter into the IEC 60320 C20 connector B of the input power cord. Secure the connection with the retention bracket C by using the included bolts to fasten the two halves of the bracket around the connection as shown.

Caution: To avoid the risk of electric shock, ensure that the Neutral (L2) conductor has been identified before connecting the PDU.

2-2 Input Power Cord Connection (PDUMH20HV Only): Insert the IEC 60320 C19 connector A of the input power cord into the IEC 60320 C20 inlet B of the PDU. Connect the other end of the input power cord C to a compatible source of AC power, such as a UPS system, PDU or utility outlet. The PDU should be provided with over-current protection. PDUMH20HV should be provided with a maximum 20A branch-rated over-current protection device. Note: The AC power source should not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or refrigerator).

3 Attach equipment to the PDU. Do not exceed the load rating of the PDU. The total electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digital meter in amperes.

Attach equipment to the PDU. Do not exceed the load rating of the PDU. The total electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digital meter in amperes.

Features

1. Input Plug (Varies by Model)
   

2. Outlets (Vary by Model): During normal operation, the outlets distribute AC power to connected equipment.
   

3. Circuit Breaker: If the current drawn by the equipment connected to the PDU exceeds the Maximum Load Rating, the circuit breaker will trip to prevent possible damage. When a circuit breaker trips, its plunger will pop up. Disconnect excess equipment and allow the breaker to cool at least one minute before depressing the plunger to reset the breaker.

4. Ammeter: The total electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digital meter in amperes.

5. Grounding Lug: Use this screw to connect the PDU to ground.

6. Power Inlet (Select Models): The IEC-320-C20 power inlet connects to the included power cord or a compatible user supplied power cord. The inlet includes a bracket to secure the cord connection.

7. Input Plug Adapter (Select Models): Converts plug types for various applications
   

8. Longer 1U Mounting Brackets: Use these brackets to mount the 1U PDU horizontally in a standard rack or rack enclosure. The mounting depth can be adjusted by attaching the brackets to different positions on the PDU.

9. Shorter 0U Mounting Brackets: Use these brackets to mount the PDU in a 0U rack, wall or undercounter configuration for 1U PDU models.

10. 2U Mounting Brackets: Use these brackets to mount the 2U PDU horizontally in a standard rack or rack enclosure, or in an under-counter configuration.

11. Cord Retention Shelves (Optional): When installed on the PDU, these shelves provide secure attachment points for connected equipment power cords. Use the included cable ties to secure cords to the shelf.
