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 may affect your warranty.
CAUTION Only those who are properly trained or qualified to use this

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, 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 122°F (0°C and 50°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 load connected to the PDU must not exceed the maximum load rating for the PDU.
- 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
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 under-counter. 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 1-3 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 user-supplied 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 (2-1) for details.
2-1 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
2-1 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.
Features
-
Input Plug (Varies by Model)
-
Outlets (Vary by Model): During normal operation, the outlets distribute AC power to connected equipment.
-
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.
-
Ammeter: The total electrical current used by the PDU will be displayed on the digital meter in amperes.
-
Grounding Lug: Use this screw to connect the PDU to ground.
-
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.
-
Input Plug Adapter (Select Models): Converts plug types for various applications.
-
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.
-
Shorter 0U Mounting Brackets: Use these brackets to mount the PDU in a 0U rack, wall or under-counter configuration for 1U PDU models.
-
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.
-
C14 Plug-Lock Insert Sleeve (Optional): Use the included plastic sleeves to secure C13 power cords to C14 inlets. Fit the sleeve over the end of the cord, making sure the pull-tabs remain outside the cord and the fit is secure. To unplug equipment properly, grip both the cord and the insert’s tabs at the same time and pull.
-
C20 Plug-Lock Insert Sleeve (Optional): Use the included plastic sleeves to secure C19 power cords to C20 inlets. Fit the sleeve over the end of the cord, making sure the pull-tabs remain outside the cord and the fit is secure. To unplug equipment properly, grip both the cord and the insert’s tabs at the same time and pull.
