6 Precautions and preparations
Before using the PDU-1209, follow the precautions and instructions below.
6.1 Attaching Rubber feet
First, clean the bottom surface of the PDU-1209 as needed, and then peal the release papers from the rubber
feet and place them in each of the four corners.
6.2 Installation
Follow the instructions below when installing the PDU-1209.
・Do not place the PDU-1209 on another device directly. The temperature of its bottom surface is elevated
after it is powered on.
・Do not block vent holes. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the
PDU-1209 (30 mm/1.18 inches or more).
・When placing the PDU-1209 in an EIA rack-mount unit, keep 1U or more vertical clearance above and
below the unit.
・Prepareventilating equipment to keep the ambient temperature at 40 degrees C/104 degrees F or less. If
inadequately vented, the life of parts may be shortened and operation may be affected.
・When you do not use an EIA rack-mount unit , maintain adequate clearances (30 mm/1.18 inches or
more) as shown below.

6.3 Cabling
Follow the precautions below when connecting the PDU-1209 to target devices.
・Read the user’s guides of connected devices carefully.
・When connecting a cable to the PDU-1209 or a compatible product, dissipate static electricity by touching
grounded metal such as racks before handling single cables. Failure to observe this precaution may result
in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
・Turn off all devices.
・Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors.
Notes:
If you do not follow the precautions above, the PDU-1209 may malfunction or may be damaged.
・Do not connect the AC adapter that is supplied with the compatible models (NJR-01UHD, NJR-04HD, and
NJR-CTB, MSD-402, and HDC-TH200) to a DC output connector of the PDU-1209.
・Do not connect the PDU-1209’s DC outputs to one another using the supplied DIN plug DC cable.

6.3.1 Connecting to compatible models
Use a supplied DIN plug DC cable to connect the PDU-1209 to a compatible product.
Insert each DC plug into an output connector until it clicks. To remove a plug from the output connector, grasp
the plug as illustrated below.

6.3.2 Connecting alarm
In order to activate the alarm function which warns you of a power failure and a decrease in cooling fan speed,
attach the supplied 2-pin terminal block to a cable and connect to the ALARM connector.
AWG 28 to AWG 16 conductor gauge is recommended. The maximum wire strip length is 7 mm/0.28 inch.

7 Alarm conditions
The PDU-1209 outputs an alarm when one of the following problems occurs.
While the ALARM (DC12V) LED is illuminated, the PDU-1209 automatically interrupts power to the particular
DC output connectors with an overcurrent condition. Power is automatically restored, once the overcurrent
fault has been corrected.

7.1 Overcurrent protection
Each DC output connector can source up to a maximum rated current of 3.3 A.
If a short circuit occurs due to a damaged DIN plug DC cable or if a DC output connector is connected to a
device other than compatible products, 3.4 A or larger current may be output.
Once an overcurrent condition is detected, the PDU-1209 stops supplying power from the affected DC output
connecter temporarily. In order to notify you of the problem, the PDU-1209 outputs an alarm and it lights the
ALARM (DC12V) LED. When the overcurrent condition is corrected, the PDU-1209 re-establishes power to
the DC output connector automatically.

7.2 Fan rotating speed slows down
If the fan’s rotational speed decreases due to age-related deterioration or other causes, the PDU-1209 may
not operate correctly. If the fan’s rotational speed is insufficient to maintain the correct internal temperature,
the PDU-1209 outputs an alarm and lights the ALARM (FAN) LED.
