General Information

Safety

Safety and grounding information

Read the following information before installing or
operating your APC by Schneider Electric Rack
Power Distribution Unit (PDU).

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR
ARC FLASH

• This PDU is intended for indoor use only.

• Do not install this PDU where excessive moisture or
heat is present.

• Never install any wiring, equipment, or PDUs during a
lightning storm.

• Plug this PDU into a three-wire, grounded power outlet
only. The power outlet must be connected to
appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or
circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of power
outlet may result in a shock hazard.

• Use only the supplied brackets for mounting, and use
only the supplied hardware to attach the mounting
brackets.

• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this PDU.

• If a socket-outlet is not accessible to the equipment, a
socket-outlet shall be installed.

• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

• Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in
good condition.

• Disconnect the PDU from the power outlet before you
install or connect equipment to reduce the risk of
electric shock when you cannot verify grounding.
Reconnect the PDU to the power outlet only after you
make all connections.

• Use a protective earth connector with equipment. This
type of connector carries the leakage current from the
load devices (computer equipment). Do not exceed a
total leakage current of 3.5 mA.

• Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the
power has been removed.

• Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or
disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock
from touching two surfaces with different grounds.

• This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts.
Repairs are to be performed only by factory-trained
service personnel.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in
death or serious injury.

Always install the equipment as shown in the
Installation Manual.
