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 convenient multiple outlets, but it 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.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.
• The power requirement for each piece of equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed
the individual outlet’s load rating.
• The total power requirement for equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the
maximum load rating for the PDU.
• 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 modify the PDU, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
• 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.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Keep indoor ambient temperature between 32°F and 122°F (0°C and 50°C).
• 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 PDU must be installed by a qualified technician only.
• Install in accordance with your local electrical codes. Be sure to use the proper over current
protection for the installation, in accordance with the plug rating/equipment rating.
• The electrical sockets supplying power to the equipment shall be installed near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
• Be sure to provide a local disconnect device on any models that are permanently installed
without a plug that is easily accessible.

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 attach the mounting brackets to the
PDU, remove the mounting buttons.
1-2 Attach the mounting brackets to the
PDU with the included screws.
1-3 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.)
1-4 To reinstall the mounting buttons for
toolless mounting, remove the mounting
brackets, then install the mounting
buttons onto the PDU. Position the PDU
as desired in the rack enclosure, align
the buttons with the rack mounting
slots, and slide the PDU into position.
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.
1-5 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 outlet illuminates when
the outlet 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
Option 1: Use the bridge lances located
near each receptacle to retain power
cords. Tie each equipment power cord
to a bridge lance by looping the cord
and securing it with one of the included
cable ties A.Make sure each cord can
be unplugged from the PDU without
removing the cable tie.
Option 2: 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 B
remain 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.

(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.
