1. Introduction
1-1 Package Contents
PDU x 1
User Manual x 1
USB cable x 1
Input IEC-SCHUCKO 16A cable
1-2 Safety
The PDU must be connected to earth while in use.
Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.
Ensure the power cord and sockets are in good condition.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, PDU installation has to be in a
temperature and humidity controlled indoor environment. Ambient temperature
must not exceed 50°C. The PDU is not intended for outdoor use.
1-3 Disposing of PDU
The PDU contains internal components that are considered toxic or hazardous waste such
as electronic circuit boards. For proper disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or
hazardous waste center.
1-4 Function
The PDU is designed to distribute AC power from a single source to 8 outputs with
advanced load monitoring and local or remote ON/OFF switching control of individual
outlets.

3-1 Panel Overview
1. On/Off button
2. Select button
3. LCD display: for detailed LCD operation, please check section 3-2.
4. Power indicator (Yellow)
5. Fault indicator (Red)
6. Mute/Function button
On the LCD display, it will show the following information:
Input voltage
Input current
Output current for each output socket
Output watt for each output socket
Output watt-hour for each output socket
Numerical pug icon to represent each output socket
icon on = output on
icon off = output off
icon blinking = output overload (alarm overload or output shutdown due to
overload)
Fault code (please check section 3-2-4 for detailed codes)
3-2 Operation
The LCD display allows you to view the status of each output (ON / OFF), input voltage, input
current, the current on each output and any alarm codes present.
Eight digital numbers displayed on the bottom of LCD to represent the eight output sockets.
If the numerical icon is on, the represented output socket is powered on. If the numerical
icon is off, the represented output socket is powered off. If the numerical icon is blinking, the
represented output socket is overload.

3-2-1 SELECT Button
The SELECT button allows you to scroll through different status screen. The LCD displayed
information will be switched in turns by pressing SELECT button. The displayed information
is switched as below order: Total input voltage/input current, input voltage/output current
for each active numerical plug and fault codes.

3-2-2 ON/OFF Button
The ON/OFF button allows you to switch on or off output sockets one by one.
Turn on selected output socket
To switch on a numerical output socket, you have to switch to specific plug number shown
on left corner by keep pressing SELET button. Then, press ON/OFF button (1 to 2 sec) until
the represented number is displayed on the bottom of LCD screen.
Turn off selected output socket
To switch off a numerical output socket, you have to switch to specific plug number shown
on left corner by keep pressing SELET button. Then, press ON/OFF button (1 to 2 sec) until
the represented number is faded on the bottom of LCD screen.
The ON/OFF button is no function while it’s shown input current or the Alarm code in LCD
display.
