The AP7610 Rack PDU mounts horizontally in any standard 19-inch
EIA-310-compliant rack or enclosure. This Rack PDU is metered —
equipped with a sensor t hat measur es the cu rrent be ing used by the Rack
PDU and any devices connected to it. The value shown on the display
interface is the aggregate current of an individual phase. This value will
generate an alarm if it is outside the threshold values that you define.
This Rack PDU has three L5-20 outlets, three L6-20 outlets, and a
L21-20 plug.

Read the following information before install ing or o per at ing your APC
AP7610 Rack PDU:
• The Rack PDU is intended only for use with four-wire grounded
connections on APC Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). Do
not plug the Rack PDU into a wall outlet or other device.
• This Rack PDU is intended to be installed and operated only with
the provided mounting hardware.
• This Rack PDU is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not install this Rac k PDU where excessive moisture or heat is
present.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this Rack PDU.
• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
• Disconnect the Rack PDU fro m the power o utlet before you inst all
or connect equipment to reduce the ri sk of elect ric shock whe n you
cannot verify grounding. Reconnect the Rack PDU to the power
outlet only after you make all connections.
• Install the Rack PDU so that the power plug may be disconnected
for service. The soc ket -o utlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be readily accessible.
• Install the Rack PDU so that there is not an uneven mechanical
load.
• Follow the nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the
supply circuit. Do no t overload the circu it s. An ove rload condition
could put your over-current protection at risk or cause problems
with your supply wiring.
• This Rack PDU contains a non-replaceable lithium coin cell
battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery.
Risk of electrical shock. Use only the supplied hardware to
attach the mounting brackets.

How to Install the PDU
Overview
Install the AP7610 Rack PDU in the rear, top two U-spaces of a rack or
enclosure for overhead wiring, or in the rear, bottom two U-spaces for
under-floor wiring. To install the Rack PDU in a NetShelter
Enclosure:
1. Attach a bracket t o each side of the Ra ck PDU, using the pan- head
screws.
Some enclosures may require you to recess the Rack
PDU so that the back doors of the enclosure will close
Note
For placement flush-to-rack: use four pan-head screws (provided)
for each bracket.
when other devices are plugged in.
®
Stan dard
For a recessed placement: use two pan-head screws (provided)
through the last two holes of the mounting brackets and into the
first two holes on the Rack PDU.
4Rack Power Distribution Unit — AP7610
How to Install the PDU
1. Insert caged nuts (provided with the enclosure) on the vertical
mounting rails above a notched hole at the start of the top two
U-spaces in your enclosure and below the notched hole at the
lower end of the two U-spaces.

2. Align the mounting holes on the brackets with the caged nuts you
installed in step 1, and insert four mounting screws (pr ovi ded wi th
the enclosure) to secure the brackets to the enclosure.

that phase.
If more than one phase is at or above the
warning or alarm limit, the display cycles
among those phases, displaying their current.
