Important Safety Warnings

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and operation of this product.

• Install the PDU indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust or conductive contaminants. Do not install the PDU near magnetic storage media, as this may cause data corruption.
• Only operate the PDU at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (0 °C and 40° C). For best results, maintain indoor temperatures between 62° F and 84° F (17° C and 29° C). For proper ventilation, leave adequate space around all sides of the PDU.
• 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.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to adapters that eliminate the connection to ground. The ground connections are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, have a compatible grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• The PDU must be installed near the wall outlet and all plugs must be readily accessible for disconnection.
• The PDU must be connected to a wall outlet that is protected by an overcurrent device with the rating shown in the table below:
  Model| Overcurrent Rating of Protection Device Model| Overcurrent Rating of Protection Device
  ---|---|---
  PDUB15| 20A| PDUBHV10 20A (cTUVus) or 16A (CE)
  PDUB20 PDUB30| 20A

30A

| PDUBHV20 20A (cTUVus) or 16A (CE)

• Caution! Risk of electrical shock! The PDU is supplied by more than one power source. All power sources must be disconnected to de-energize the unit before servicing.
• Do not open the PDU for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

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.

Mounting

Mounting (2-Post or 4-Post Racks) Mount the equipment in either a 2-post or 4-post open frame rack or rack enclosure. The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.
Note: Mounting procedures are the same for both 2-post and 4-post rack installation.

• Step 1. Attach the mounting ears to the mounting holes of the PDU using the screws provided. The ears should face forward.
  Note: The top or bottom mounting holes of the PDU can be used.

• Step 2. Attach the PDU to the rack with user-provided screws, nuts and washers. Insert the screws through the mounting ears and into the rack rails.
  Mounting in the Same Rack Space as a UPS System (4-Post Racks) The Hot- Swap PDU can be mounted in the same rack space as a UPS system when the UPS system is mounted using Tripp Lite’s 4POSTRAILKIT. (4POSTRAILKIT is included with most Tripp Lite UPS systems and is also sold separately. Refer to the UPS system manual or 4POSTRAILKIT manual for UPS system mounting instructions. The procedure for mounting the rear of the 4POSTRAILKIT mounting shelves to the rack will differ slightly, as shown in this section.)

• Step 1. Attach the mounting ears to the lower mounting holes of the unit using the screws provided. The ears should face forward.

• Step 2. Install 4POSTRAILKIT into the rack using only the top mounting hole A at each side of the rear of the 4POSTRAILKIT mounting shelves. (The screws at the front of the shelves will not change from the standard procedure shown in your UPS or 4POSTRAILKIT manual.)

• Step 3. Install the PDU into the rack using the bottom two mounting holes B at each side of the rear of the 4POSTRAILKIT mounting shelves.

Warning! Refer to the diagrams below to make sure the UPS system’s airflow is not obstructed. If the UPS system’s airflow is obstructed, the UPS system will overheat.

Features

1. 5-15R AC Outlets: Connect to 5-15P equipment plugs.

2. 5-20R AC Outlets: Connect to 5-15P or 5-20P equipment plugs.

3. L5-30R AC Outlets: Connect to L5-30P equipment plugs.

4. C13 AC Outlets: Connect to C14 equipment plugs.

5. C19 AC Outlets: Connect to C20 equipment plugs.

6. UPS Source Input: Connects to a compatible outlet on the UPS system.

7. Maintenance Bypass Switch: Selects the power source that is powering the load – either the UPS source or the utility source. When the switch is set to “Utility,” connected equipment receives AC utility power from the PDU, but the equipment will not receive UPS battery backup power in the event of a utility power failure. See “Manual Bypass Operation” for more information.

8. Diagnostic Lights (UPS Available and Maintenance Bypass Available): A green “UPS Available” light will illuminate when the UPS source is connected and turned on. A yellow “Maintenance Bypass Available” light will illuminate when the utility source is connected and turned on.

9. Utility Source Input: Connects to the utility power source. Models PDUB15, PDUB20 and PDUB30 each have a fixed input cord and plug. Model PDUBHV10 has a C14 inlet and model PDUBHV20 has a C20 inlet. Models PDUBHV10 and PDUBHV20 both include an extension jumper and can also be used with a user-supplied power cord. (See below for a selection of compatible Tripp Lite power cords.)

10. UPS Connection Outlet: Connects to the UPS system’s input power cord. The user must match the UPS system’s input power cord to a
    compatible PDU model.

11. 20-Amp Branch-Rated AC Output Breakers (PDUB30 Only): Control power to the PDU’s outlets.

• Step 6. Connect the equipment cables to compatible PDU outlets E and set the Maintenance Bypass Switch A to the “UPS” position. The connected load now has UPS protection.

Manual Bypass Operation For Hot-Swap UPS Replacement

• Step 1. Make sure the PDU’s yellow “Maintenance Bypass Available” light A is illuminated. Switch the Maintenance Bypass Switch B from “UPS” to “Utility”. The connected load is now being supported by the utility power source and will not receive battery backup power in the event of a utility power failure.
• Step 2. Turn off the UPS system that requires maintenance or replacement and remove all power connections between the UPS system and the PDU. The PDU’s green “UPS Available” light will be off.
• Step 3. Replace the UPS system. Connect the new UPS system’s input power cord to the PDU’s UPS connection outlet (labeled “Connect UPS Line Cord Here”) and turn on the new UPS system.
• Step 4. Connect the PDU’s UPS source input cord (labeled “To UPS Output”) to a compatible outlet on the new UPS system. The PDU’s green “UPS Available” light will illuminate.
• Step 5. Switch the Maintenance Bypass Switch B from “Utility” to “UPS”. The connected load is now has UPS protection.
