Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during
the installation, operation, and storage of this product. Failure to heed these
instructions and warnings may affect the product warranty.
• The PDU provides the convenience of multiple outlets, but DOES NOT provide surge or line
noise protection for connected equipment.
• The PDU is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment, away from excess
moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Keep indoor ambient temperature between 32°F and 122°F (0°C and 50°C).
• The PDU must be installed by a qualified technician only.
• Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards. Be sure to use the proper
overcurrent protection for the installation, in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• Connect the PDU to an outlet that is in accordance with your local building codes and that is
adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults.
• The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the equipment
and easily accessible.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.
• Be sure to provide a local disconnect device on any models that are permanently installed
without a plug that is easily accessible.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Individual equipment connected to the PDU should not draw more current than the individual
PDU’s outlet’s rating.
• The total load connected to the PDU must not exceed the maximum load rating for the PDU.
• Do not attempt to modify the PDU, input plugs or power cables.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the PDU housing. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
• Do not attempt to use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can
reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly
affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the
presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Installation
Mounting the PDU
Note: The illustrations may differ somewhat from your PDU model. Regardless of configuration, the user must
determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and included hardware are designed
for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact mounting
configurations may vary. Screws for attaching the mounting brackets to the PDU are included. Use only the screws
supplied by the manufacturer or their exact equivalent.
Note: Mounting buttons come preinstalled to the PDU for toolless mounting.
1-1 To mount the PDU using the pre-installed
mounting buttons, position the PDU as
desired in the rack enclosure, align the
buttons with the rack mounting slots,
and slide the PDU into position.
1-2 To attach the mounting brackets to the
PDU, remove the mounting buttons.
1-3 Attach the mounting brackets to the
PDU with the included screws.
1-4 Attach the PDU to a vertical rail in
your rack or rack enclosure. (Use the
mounting hardware that came with your
rack or rack enclosure to attach the
mounting brackets to the rail.)
1-5 To reinstall the mounting buttons for
toolless mounting, remove the mounting
brackets then install the mounting
buttons onto the PDU.
Note: Be sure to insert the 2 buttons into either
the upper hole at each end of the PDU or into
the lower hole at each end of the PDU.
1-6 To install the PDU with its outlets facing
the rear of the rack, use the included
PDUMVROTATEBRKT accessory. First,
attach the mounting button Ato the
V-shaped bracket Busing the included
screw and washer. Then, use the
button-mount slot to attach the bracket
to the PDU and the mounting button to
attach the PDU to the rack. The bracket
effectively repositions the mounting
brackets allowing for the PDU outlets to
face the rear of the rack.

Installation
2-2 Connect the input plug to your facility’s
compatible AC power source.
2-3 Connect your equipment’s input plugs to
the appropriate outlets on the PDU. The
LED near each bank illuminates when
the bank is ready to distribute live
AC power.
Note: It is recommended that you do not
connect a live load to the PDU. If the load you
intend to connect has an ON/OFF switch, please
turn the switch to OFF prior to connection.
2-4 Optional Cord Retention Procedure
Use the included C14 and C20 plastic
sleeves to secure plugs to receptacles.
Attach the sleeve to the plug, making
sure that the pull tabs Aremain outside
the plug and that the fit is secure. To
unplug equipment properly, use the pull
tabs to remove the plug and sleeve from
the receptacle.
For Installation
Purposes Only
Networking the PDU
Your PDU can receive IP address assignments via DHCP server (dynamic) or static (manual)
addressing methods. See the SNMPWEBCARD installation guide for an explanation of
these methods. You can find the guide by going to www.tripplite.com/support and typing
“SNMPWEBCARD” in the search field. If you are uncertain which method to use, contact your
network administrator for assistance before continuing the configuration process.
Note: The MAC address of the PDU (12-digit string in this format: 000667xxxxxx) is printed on a label attached
to the PDU enclosure. For static IP address assignments, use the RJ-45 to DB9 configuration cable (part
number 73-1243) included with the PDU.

Voltage, Power Unbalance Percentage, Temperature and Humidity.
BArrow Buttons: Scroll through indicated Input, Bank, Power, Load Balance, Sensor and
Display Brightness options using these buttons. A long press of the up or down arrow
buttons allows the user to skip to the next sequential measurement category.
CMode Button: When a menu option is selected using the Arrow Buttons, the Mode Button
scrolls through the sub-options within each category. Sub-options are shown by the
Indicator LEDs.
DIndicator LEDs: Lit LED indicates which value is being displayed on the 3-digit screen.
Amps (A): When selected, the load on the selected Input Phase (L#) or Load Bank
(B#) is displayed in amps.
Wattage (kW): When selected, the load on the selected Load Bank (B#) or Total
Output Power (OP) is displayed in kW.
Voltage (V): Input Phase (L#) or Load Bank (B#) voltage is displayed.
Unbalanced Load (%UB): When lit, the display shows the unbalanced load
percentage deviance from the average measured value. A value that is zero or closest
to zero is desirable.
Temperature (T): If Tripp Lite ENVIROSENSE is connected, the ambient temperature
will be displayed when this option is selected. The temperature is displayed in Celsius
by default, but can be switched to Fahrenheit.
Relative Humidity (%RH): If Tripp Lite ENVIROSENSE is connected, the relative
humidity percentage will be displayed when this option is selected.
E2-Digit Display: This display indicates which Input Phase (L#), Load Unbalance (UB), Load
Bank (B#), Output Power (OP) or Sensor (S#) option is selected.
