Safety Instructions
Please read all of these instructions carefully before you use the device. Save this manual for
future reference.
■Unplug equipment before cleaning. Don’t use liquid or spray detergent; use a moist cloth.
■Keep equipment away from excessive humidity and heat. Preferably, keep it in an air-conditioned environment with
temperatures not exceeding 40º Celsius (104º Fahrenheit).
■When installing, place the equipment on a sturdy, level surface to prevent it from accidentally falling and causing dam
age to other equipment or injury to persons nearby.
■When the equipment is in an open position, do not cover, block or in any way obstruct the gap between it and the
power supply. Proper air convection is necessary to keep it from overheating.
■Arrange the equipment’s power cord in such a way that others won’t trip or fall over it.
■If you are using a power cord that didn’t ship with the equipment, ensure that it is rated for the voltage and current
labelled on the equipment’s electrical ratings label. The voltage rating on the cord should be higher than the one listed
on the equipment’s ratings label.
■Observe all precautions and warnings attached to the equipment.
■If you don’t intend on using the equipment for a long time, disconnect it from the power outlet to prevent being dam
aged by transient over-voltage.
■Keep all liquids away from the equipment to minimize the risk of accidental spillage. Liquid spilled on to the power
supply or on other hardware may cause damage, fire or electrical shock.
■Only qualified service personnel should open the chassis. Opening it yourself could damage the equipment and invali
date its warranty.
■If any part of the equipment becomes damaged or stops functioning, have it checked by qualified service personnel.
What the warranty does not cover
■Any product, on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed.
■Damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from:
□Accident, misuse, neglect, fire, water, lightning, or other acts of nature, unauthorized product modification, or
failure to follow instructions supplied with the product.
□Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by us.
□Any damage of the product due to shipment.
□Removal or installation of the product.
□Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuation or failure.

< 1.2 > IP Dongle Installation & Meter ( PDU ) Cascade
Vertical IP dongle installation steps :
- slide the IP dongle on the plate above the meter
- plug the RJ-45 connector of IP dongle into the LINK port of the 1st level PDU meter
- use the CAT. 5 / 6 cable to connect IP dongle to network device
IP Dongle Access to 16 PDU Levels
Patented IP Dongle provides IP remote access to the PDUs by a true network IP address chain. Only 1 x IP dongle
allows access to max. 16 PDUs in daisy chain - which is a highly efficient application for saving not only the IP re-
mote accessories cost, but also the true IP addresses required on the PDU management.
Hot-Pluggable design facilitates the IP dongle installation. Simply integrate the IP Dongle to the 1st PDU, then the
entire daisy chain group can be remote over IP. Hence, administrator can remotely access all PDUs in the daisy
chain group by one single IP via the IP Dongle.
