Important Safety Instructions
Read and observe the following safety points
at all times.
Notice
For indoor use only. Internal components are
not sealed from the environment. The device
can only be used in a fixed location such as
a telecommunication center, or a dedicated
computer room. When you install the device,
ensure that the protective earthing connection
of the socket-outlet is verified by a skilled
person. Suitable for installation in Information
Technology Rooms to power ITE equipment
such as Monitors, Computers, Etc. Only use
brackets/attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer. Do not place the device
in an unstable position where it might fall and
cause injuries. This equipment is not suitable
for use in locations where children are likely
to be present. Do not cover this device with a
cloth. Do not install it on a carpet or rug.
Caution
Potential injury
Do not use this product with extension
cords, multi-outlet power strips, multi-outlet
extenders, or UPS devices (other than a Big
Dog Power UPS). The power capacity of these
12
accessories can be overloaded by this product
and may result in a risk of fire, or property
damage.
Exposure to Heat
Do not expose the PDU to direct sunlight or
place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or
in an enclosed space prone to temperature
increase. Do not use the device in a confined,
poorly-ventilated location; this can overheat
the unit, possibly even causing a fire. If used in
a small space other than an EIA-standard rack,
ensure that there is adequate space around the
device.
Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for is
light dusting. Unplug the PDU from the wall
outlet before cleaning it. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
Warning
Power sources, grounding, and polarization
This plug is designed to be inserted into a
NEMA 5-15 (three-prong grounded) outlet
only. Do not force the plug into an outlet that
is not designed to accept it. Never dismantle
the plug or to alter the power cord, and do
not attempt to defeat the grounding feature
by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you have
Page 13
questions about grounding, consult your local
power company or a qualified electrician.
This PDU requires a properly grounded outlet
for safety. If you’re not sure if your home’s
electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician. If a rooftop
device such as a satellite dish connects to the
PDU, ensure that the device’s wires are also
properly grounded.
Liquid: avoiding electrical shocks
Do not operate the PDU if liquid of any kind is
spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate
it near rain or water, even water that is
contained (for example, bathtub or sink).
Power cord safety
Do not place the power cord near areas with
heavy foot traffic (for example, hallways). Do
not create a trip hazard with the power cord.
If the power cord’s protective jacket rips or
frays, exposing the internal wiring or shielding,
disconnect it from the power source and
replace the power cord immediately. See the
warranty section of the owner’s manual for
details.
No User-Serviceable Parts Inside
If the PDU is not operating properly, do not
remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.)
for repair. Unplug the unit and consult the
warranty section of the owner’s manual.
