Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE 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 and warnings will void the product warranty.
CAUTION Only those who are properly trained or qualified to use this
device should do so. Anyone who is not trained or qualified should not use
this device unless it is under the supervision of someone who is properly
trained or qualified to do so. Children must be supervised to ensure that they
do not use the device as a toy. Never use the device if the cord and plug are
damaged; if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged,
take it to an authorized service center for inspection and repair. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its authorized
service agent, or by qualified personnel in order to avoid a danger.
Important Warnings
- The PDU provides the convenience of multiple outlets distributed across two independent power circuits, but 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.
- Keep indoor ambient temperature between 32°F and 77°F (0°C and 25°C).
- The PDU must be installed by a qualified technician only.
- Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
- Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the installation, in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
- Connect the PDU to an outlet that is in accordance with your local building codes and that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults.
- The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
- Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.
- Be sure to provide a local disconnect device on any models that are permanently installed without a plug that is easily accessible.
- Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
- Individual equipment connected to the PDU should not draw more current than the individual PDU’s outlet’s rating.
- The total power requirement for equipment connected to each of the two independent power circuits must not exceed the maximum load rating for that circuit.
- Do not attempt to modify the PDU, input plugs or power cables.
- 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 use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
- 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.
Installation
-
Rack Configuration (Mounting Clips).
Attach the three mounting clips supplied with the PDU to the rack enclosure using the included hardware. The mounting clips should be attached along a vertical plane at equidistant points which approximately correspond to the center and ends of the PDU. The exact mounting configuration may vary depending on the rack and enclosure. If possible, use pre-existing mounting points within the enclosure. Using an assistant, place a rear corner of the PDU at an inside edge of the mounting clips, pivot the PDU toward the alternate inside edge and snap into place. -
Rack Configuration (Mounting Buttons).
To mount the PDU with the outlets facing inward, align the mounting buttons on the rear of the PDU with the rack mounting slots and slide the PDU into position. To mount the PDU with the outlets facing the rear of the rack enclosure, remove and discard each of the screws that attach the mounting buttons to the PDU*. Attach each mounting button to a mounting bracket using the included M3 screws, and then attach each mounting bracket to the rear of the PDU (1 at the top, 1 at the middle, and 1 at the base) using the included M4 screws (where the mounting button would otherwise be placed). Position the PDU as desired in the rack enclosure, align the buttons with the rack mounting slots, and slide the PDU into position. Three M3 screws are included with the mounting hardware and should be used to attach the mounting buttons to the mounting brackets. The screw that was initially used to attach the mounting button to the PDU should not be used to attach the mounting button to the mounting bracket or to attach the mounting bracket to the PDU. -
Wall or Under-Counter Configuration
Attach the three mounting clips supplied with the PDU to a wall or similar flat, secure surface using the included hardware. The mounting clips should be attached along a vertical or horizontal plane at equidistant points that approximately correspond to the center and ends of the PDU. If possible, use pre-existing mounting points. Using an assistant, place a rear corner of the PDU at an inside edge of the mounting clips, pivot the PDU toward the alternate inside edge and snap into place.
WARNING: Do not attempt to mount the PDU with the outlets facing downward; the mounting clips are not designed to support the weight of the PDU in that manner.
Note: Regardless of configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed for a common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. -
Attach each input plug of the PDU to a grounded outlet. The input plugs, power cords, breakers and outlets are color-coded in black and gray to correspond to the two independent power circuits. WARNING: Attach each input plug to a separate power circuit. Consult with the electrician at the installation site if necessary.
-
Attach equipment to the PDU. Do not exceed the load rating for each circuit; distribute equipment appropriately between the two circuits to obtain the maximum utility from the PDU.
-
Optional Installation. The PDU includes two adapters that convert the L5-20P input plugs to 5-20P input plugs. Use both adapters, a single adapter or neither of the adapters. The adapters are optional; the PDU will work properly without connecting the adapters. The adapters are not color-coded.
Features
- NEMA L5-20P Input Plugs: The input plugs and associated power cords are color-coded to correspond with each of the independent power circuits.
- NEMA 5-20P Plug Adapters: The adapters convert the input plugs from NEMA L5-20P to NEMA 5-20P. The adapters are not color-coded.
- Circuit Breakers: If the current drawn by the equipment connected to the corresponding independent power circuit exceeds that circuit’s Maximum Load Rating for longer than a few seconds, a circuit breaker will trip to prevent possible damage. When a circuit breaker trips, its plunger will pop up. Disconnect excess equipment from the affected circuit and allow the breaker to cool one minute before depressing the plunger to reset the breaker. The circuit breakers are color-coded to correspond with each of the independent power circuits.
- NEMA 5-15/20R Outlets: The outlets are color-coded to correspond with each of the independent power circuits.
