SETTING UP THE LOAD MASTER®POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT (PDU)
Set up of the Lex Products Load Master power distribution box is to be performed by qualied personnel only
Step 1: Placement and Inspection of the Load Master®PDU
–The Load Master® PDU box is designed for indoor and outdoor use
–The base of the unit is designed to elevate live electrical components above ground level
–The Lex Products Load Master®is UL Listed for use in wet locations, but is not to be operated near standing water or in wet weather
1. The Load Master box is a two man portable unit
a. When moving the Load Master box, use the lifting handles on the sides of the box (Figure 1.2)
2. PlacetheLoadMasterBoxinalevellocationwithadryandrmfoundationwithinproximityofthepowersourceandthelocation

3. OpenthelidfortheunittoconrmthattheadjustablecircuitbreakersareintheOFFposition
Step 2: Making the Input Connections
WARNING: Before making connections to the Load Master®PDU, make sure the power source feeding the box is OFF
WARNING: Do not exceed the voltage rating (600 VAC Max.)
1. Locate the (2) sets of feeder cable that will be used to bring power to the Load Master®PDU
a. 4/0 cable must be used to connect the Load Master® PDU to the power source
b. NOTE: If using the feed thru feature on model PH800-N2J-31AV1AX1AZ, connect the feed thru before the input, making the
Cam-type connections in the same manner and order as indicated for the input connection on page 6
WARNING: Both sets of Cam extensions feeding the input must come from the same power source

Step 2: Making the Input Connections (continued)
2. Connect the bottom input row of Cam cables first, beginning with the ground cable (Green)
3. Push the inline connector (female) into the Cam inlet (male) panel mount receptacle with the screw on the connector facing up
4. Rotate the connector clockwise at least 90 degrees until it stops to make sure it is secured in the locked position
5. Connect the neutral (White) Cam cable second
6. Push the inline connector (female) into the Cam inlet (male) panel mount receptacle with the screw on the connector facing up
7. Rotate the connector clockwise at least 90 degrees until it stops to make sure it is secured in the locked position
8. Repeat steps 3-4 to connect the Blue, Red and then Black phases in the same manner
9. Connect the second (Top) row of the Cam input in the same manner and color order as detailed above.
NOTE: When disconnecting, do so in reverse order starting with the phases (Black, Red and Blue), followed by the neutral (White) and finally
ground (Green)
Align the inline Ground connector with the
corresponding color-coded receptacle
Insert the Cam connector into the receptacle
and rotate Cam connector at least 90 clockwise
degrees to lock
Align the inline Neutral connector with the
corresponding color-coded receptacle
Insert the Cam connector into the receptacle
and rotate Cam connector at least 90 clockwise
degrees to lock

Step 3: Adjusting the Circuit Breakers
The current level of the circuit breakers is adjustable to match the load of the output receptacles. The circuit breakers are adjusted
with dip switches located under a clear cover on each circuit breaker.

Step 3: Adjusting the Circuit Breakers (continued)
160-400 Amp Circuit Breaker - DIP Switch Settings
1. Set the DIP switches on the circuit breaker to the closest level indicated in the table below with the set level
greater than the actual load
a. Only adjust the DIP switch labeled “L”
b. To adjust the circuit breaker, open the clear cover over the DIP switch using a small flathead screw driver
c. Move each switch (A, B, C, D) into the up or down position based on the table below to achieve the
desired output current rating
d. Close the clear cover over the DIP switch
