PDU Care
Normally, PDU requires no maintenance and no calibraon. It is recommended,
though, to periodically inspect PDU for overheang.
During its normal operaon PDU may have elevated temperature which would feel
“warm” to the touch, but not what is considered “hot.” If the PDU does feels “hot”
to the touch (more than 700C or 1580F), turn o PDU and disconnect equipment that
is powered by PDU immediately. First, verify that the total current load does not
exceed PDU’s maximum rang. Keep in mind that somemes stated power rang of
equipment is “typical” rather than “maximum” - it is prudent to load PDU to no more
than 75% of its capacity to accommodate for such situaons. Then, check if the heat
dissipaon of the PDU is obstructed by improper installaons such as objects placed
on its top or lack of space around it for proper venlaon, or its placement in a small
conned space. If such problem is idened, correct it, let the PDU cool down and
turn it back on. Check within 30 minutes and then within an hour the temperature of
the PDU. If the PDU sll feels “hot” to the touch, turn PDU o, disconnect your
equipment, and disconnue using PDU. For warranty or other repair contact factory
or its authorized distributors.

Thank you for buying CleanSweep® rack-mounted PDU (power distribuon unit)!
Your new CleanSweep® PDU will provide your sensive equipment with AC power
free from electromagnec interference (EMI) and power line transients. Such
arfacts on power lines and ground cause numerous equipment malfuncons, in-
cluding lock-up, errac response, soware errors, and other oen “unexplained”
behavior. Excessive transients and noise can also cause damage to sensive
components via induced electrical overstress (EOS). For more details on this subject
please visit Library secon on our web site www.onlter.com.
Safety First!
CleanSweep® PDUs operate with high voltage that, improperly installed or used, may
cause property damage, injury and death. Always observe safety measures when
using power line lters. Here are some of the key safety precauons you should
take:
WARNING
• Do not exceed PDU’s maximum rang - it may cause overheang
• Use PDU aer the fuse or circuit breaker of no more than specied max. rang
• Use only with the power cord supplied by manufacturer
• This PDU is not for household use
• PDU must be plugged into a properly wired grounding type outlet
• No serviceable parts inside - do not open. High voltage is present inside.
Introduction
CleanSweep® EMI PDUs reduce noise on power lines providing clean power to your
equipment. High levels of noise (also called conducted Electro Magnec
Interference - EMI) interferes with normal operaon of electronic equipment and
can cause physical component damage inside the equipment. Noise on power lines
is common in industrial and oce environment and the only praccal way to deal
with it is by using properly-designed lter which is a part of CleanSweep® PDU. In
addion to eecvely suppressing EMI, OnFILTER’ CleanSweep® PDU provides
advanced transient surge protecon by reducing power line transients down to
insignicant levels surpassing convenonal surge protecon.
Installation
Proper installaon of PDU helps to assure its connuous operaon for a long me.
Please follow these requirements for installaon:
• Use PDU in a dry locaon away from debris and from the possibility of spillage,
including from cleaning
• Ambient temperature at the place of installaon should not exceed the range of
50…400C
• Firmly fasten PDU in a 19” rack using all four screw (supplied)
• Install lter close to your equipment
• Do not install PDU in small conned spaces with restricted air circulaon in or-
der to avoid overheang. Allow some space on each side for proper venlaon

Connections
WARNING
• Before aempng any electrical connecon, verify that your power source, such
as electrical outlet or juncon box, is correctly wired and properly grounded.
• Do not use PDU without proper grounding! Failure to properly ground the PDU
may result in failure to ground your equipment, in unsafe situaon that can
cause property damage and injury, as well as failure of PDU to perform.
• Use only the power cable supplied with the PDU. Other cables that may look
very similar to the one supplied may not have the same voltage/current rangs.
To connect PDU follow the steps below:
• Install PDU in a rack and rmly fasten its front panel to the rack’s rails using
supplied screws
• Power down and unplug your equipment that will be powered by PDU
• Connect supplied power cable to the inlet on the back of PDU
• Plug the PDU’s cable into the power outlet
• Turn power switch on PDU on (“RESET” posion). The red light in the power
switch should light up indicang that it receives power
• Plug your equipment into the outlet of PDU and turn it on

Advanced Transient Surge Suppression
Power line surge is a sudden high energy disturbance in line voltage typically lasng
less than one cycle which causes short high voltage increases (up to 3kV or even
higher). This may cause data corrupon, equipment malfuncon, equipment
damage and process interrupon.
CleanSweep® PDU AREC144FG has two stages of transient surge protecon. First
stage protects your equipment from long-lasng surges (typically lasng less than a
second). Special high energy absorbing MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) installed
between Live-Neutral, Live-Ground and Neutral-Ground absorb surges with peak
current up to 22kA.
The second stage is most important. While
convenonal surge protecon limits
transients by amplitude, this may leave your
equipment exposed to spikes up to 600V.
CleanSweep® PDU ulizes special unique
short transient suppressor circuit as a part
of its EMI ltering to limit power line transi-
ents to no more than 10V (typ.). The graph
on the right shows how CleanSweep® PDU
suppresses transient surge spike which
would go unnoced by convenonal surge
protecon.
With these two transient suppression stages
working together your equipment is well-
protected.
Note that MOV may lose some eecveness if there are many very strong surges;
however EMI lter protecon (second stage) does not wear out.
Mulple Loads and EMI Filtering
When using more than one equipment plugged into CleanSweep® PDU output, keep
in mind that:
• Total current consumpon shall never exceed maximum current rang, and
• There is no ltering or surge protecon between the loads at the output
EMI ltering and surge protecon are provided only between the inlet on the back of
PDU - and output connectors on the front panel. There is no ltering or other
protecon between the outlets on the front of the PDU—they are simply connected
in parallel. If you have a known piece of equipment which is “noisy” it would be
beer to power it up separately so that it won’t pollute the rest of equipment.

PDU Operation and Performance
CleanSweep® PDU provides several funcons:
• Distributes power to four loads
• Serves as overcurrent protecon (circuit breaker)
• Blocks EMI from AC power lines and ground providing your equipment with clean
AC power
• Uses advanced transient surge protecon to protect your equipment from harm-
ful power line spikes
Overload Protecon
CleanSweep® PDU AREC144FG is equipped with a built-in 15A circuit breaker on its
front panel. It is prudent to have typical load current of no more than 75% of the
circuit breaker’ rang to avoid shutdown during occasional excessive current peaks
which may not be specied in your equipment’ specicaon. Should the current
through the PDU exceed its maximum rated current, this circuit breaker will trigger
and disconnect power to PDU and to the equipment plugged into it. In this case do
not reset the circuit breaker unl you unplug equipment that may contribute to ex-
cessive current consumpon and wait a few minutes to let circuit breaker “cool o.”
Circuit breaker can be reset by simply toggling switch on the front panel into Reset
(upper) posion.
The red light in the circuit breaker is “On” when power is on. When power is o and
if circuit breaker cuts o power, the light will be o.
EMI Filtering
EMI lter incorporated into CleanSweep® PDU AREC144FG provides signicant noise
suppression in several modes—dierenal (between live and neutral), common
mode (live and neutral to ground) and, uniquely, in ground line itself. Unlike
convenonal EMI lters, CleanSweep® PDU oers eecve noise suppression for real
-life situaons in real-life use. For technical details on this please see
OnFILTER Advantage App. Note on our web site www.onlter.com.
