Safety Precautions -
Read the following before installing or operating
the Power Distribution Unit (PDU):
1. CAUTION! Use ONLY the supplied hardware (including screws, pegs and
cord retainer clips) to attach the mounting brackets. Using different hardware
or improper installations may cause damage that is NOT covered by
this warranty.
2. The PDU must only be plugged into a three-wire, grounded outlet on a
circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other type
of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.
3. Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
4. Never install a PDU, or associated wiring or equipment, during a lightning
storm.
5. Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
6. CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, this PDU should be
installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants. Do not install this PDU where excessive
moisture or heat is present.

Cord Retention Tray installation
(Optional for both horizontal and vertical installations)
Attach the Cord Retention Tray to the PDU with the 4 supplied Cord
Retention Tray Mounting Screws (M3 X 6). Tighten the Cord Retention Tray
with the screw on it.
Use the Cable Ties provided to fasten each power cord to the Cord Retention
Tray.
Meter Configuration
Use a screwdriver to gently remove the LED Meter. Rotate the LED Meter
90 degrees, and insert back into the PDU.
!
Note
Depending on installation method (vertical or horizontal),
the LED Meter may need to be rotated, before installation,
for proper orientation.
Adjust the length of the Cord Retention Tray till the screw hole on the Tray
and PDU are aligned.

Electrical Installation
Ensure that the plug type of your PDU unit (e.g. NEMA 5-15P, NEMA 5-
20P, NEMA L5-30P) matches the wall receptacle type that you are using.
Step 1 – Receptacle evaluation
PDU must be plugged into a three-wire, grounded wall receptacle only.
The wall receptacle must also be connected to an appropriate branch
circuit/main with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Connection to any
other type of wall receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
CAUTION!!
Step 2 – Plug the PDU into the wall receptacle
Step 3 – Attach equipment
Before attaching equipment, it is important to calculate the total load that you
will be placing on the PDU. It is extremely important not to exceed the PDU's
maximum current load (as outlined in the Specifications section). In order to
determine your total load, simply add up the amperage of your devices and
ensure that it does not exceed the unit’s capacity.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
PDU Outlets do not
provide power to
connected
equipment
1. Open breaker
2. Loose power cord
Reset Breaker check if
plug is completely
connected.
If the problem remains
contact tech support.
Amperage displayed
on Amperage Meter
exceedsthe unit’s
capability (Metered
type only)
1. Overload
2. Amperage meter is
damaged
The meter will flash
when overloaded.
Reduce the load on the
PDU until the overload
is gone.
If the problem remains
contact tech support.
Circuit breaker has
tripped
1. Sustained overload
2. Excessive ambient or
internaltemperatures.
3. Faulty breaker
Reset Breaker.
