Product Description and Inventory
Description
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.

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.

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.
Control Button Pressing this button causes the digital display
to display the current for the next phase for 30
seconds. Then it returns to the display of the
