2 Overview
Power Distribution Units are firstly used to duplicate connections, secondly for trouble-free connection of loads with different plug configurations to non-heating appliance output sockets acc. to IEC 320. Power distribution units therefore allow a wide variety of different appliances to be connected, e.g. PC, workstations, servers, relatively small telephone systems and similar loads.
Each of the power distribution units is available in two versions for connecting to non-heating appliance sockets in acc. with IEC 320, rated at 10 A and 16 A.
2.1 Principle of Operation
The power distribution units have been designed for installation in standard
19 inch (482.6 mm) network cubicles, and can be mechanically attached in a
wide range of variants. The output sockets vary and allow flexible use in a
wide range of applications.
Alternatively, these power distribution units can also be used as portable
socket strips. The mounting brackets on the sides can be completely removed
for this purpose.
3 Safety
3.1 General Safety Instructions
Read these operating instructions carefully prior to commissioning of the power distribution unit and observe the safety instructions! Only use the product if it is in a technically perfect condition and always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults that could be detrimental to safety. The following pictograms are used in these operating instructions to identify dangers and important information:
Danger! Identifies risk of fatal injury to the operator.
Attention! Identifies risk of injury and risk of damage to the device and parts of the device.
Information! Useful and important information for operating the power distribution unit.
3.2 Safety Instructions for Power Distribution Units
This chapter contains important instructions for the power distribution unit, and must be followed during installation, operation and maintenance.
The product may only be opened by trained and qualified personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by qualified customer service staff! For reasons of personal protection, the product must be correctly earthed, i.e. operated exclusively on earthed power systems!
The power distribution unit is only allowed to be operated and connected using the attached mains connection cable with PE conductor on 220 / 230 / 240 V AC circuits with protective earthing.
Observe the following safety instructions to ensure permanent operational safety of and safe work with the power distribution unit:
-
Do not dismantle the power distribution unit! (The power distribution unit does not contain any parts that require regular maintenance. Bear in mind also that the warranty will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)
-
The product is designed to be installed inside in rooms. Never install the power distribution unit in the vicinity of water or in an excessively damp environment!
-
Condensation may occur if the power distribution unit is brought from a cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The power distribution unit must be absolutely dry prior to start-up. As a result, leave it to acclimatize for at least two hours.
If the product is used in conjunction with a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) as an additional output distribution system, take care that the input of the UPS is never connected to its output! -
Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate the power distribution unit!
-
The mains connection should be near the product and easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC input or pulling out the plug!

has been packed and shipped with the usual degree of care, damage during
transport cannot be ruled out completely.
Any claims due to transport damage must always be asserted against the transport company!
Check the shipping container for damage on arrival. If necessary, ask the transport company to check the goods and make a record of the damage in the presence of the transport company employee and report the damage to the AEG representative or dealer within eight days of delivery.
Check the content is complete:
- PDU type 10 – 1, 10 – 2, 16 – 1 or 16 – 2 each with pre-installed mounting brackets on the side
- Small bag with 2 cage nuts M6 and 2 screws M6x16
- Operating instructions
Please contact our hotline (see page 4) in case of any discrepancy.
The original packaging provides effective protection against mechanical shocks
and should be retained so the unit can be transported safely later on.
Please keep the plastic packaging bags away from babies and children in order
to safeguard against suffocation accidents.
4.2 Installation Site
The power distribution units are designed to be installed in a protected
environment. Suitable rooms are dry, relatively dust free and free from
chemical vapors.
Check to make sure the voltage and frequency data correspond to the values applicable to your loads. Make sure that the current consumption of all connected loads does not exceed the type rating of the power distribution unit.
5 Installation and Operation
5.1 Installation
Mounting brackets are installed on both sides of the power distribution unit
at the factory.
Use as socket strip
If you want to use the power distribution unit as a portable socket strip,
remove the brackets described above, if necessary by using a pair of pliers.
Use as a power distribution unit in network cubicles
The design of the power distribution unit allows it to be used universally in
19 inch (482.6 mm) standard network cubicles. In the cubicle frame itself, the
power distribution unit can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
Provision has also be made for it to be used in the front or rear area. As a
result, the brackets can be used in a variety of ways, in order to take
account of a wide range of installation requirements. If you wish to change
the position of these brackets, remove them carefully (CAUTION: do not bend!)
and then reinsert them in the required position in accordance with one of the
illustrations below:
Now attach the two supplied cage nuts in the frame of your network cubicle at
the previously selected position:
Now line up the slots of the mounting brackets with the cage nuts you have just inserted. Then fasten the power distribution unit using the supplied screws:
6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Fuse Change
Overloading the power distribution unit by exceeding the maximum specified
currents will result in the line-side miniature fuse. This is shown optically
by the indicator (LED) positioned in the immediate vicinity of the fuse going
out.
Only renew the fuse(s) using components of the same types. In this case, it is permitted for the amperage to be reduced or for the trigger characteristics used to be changed. This allows selectivity criteria to be met, in particular for operation with uninterruptible power supply units.
