IEC Outlet Grip Plug Retention Mechanism
The Eaton ePDUs have a mechanism integrated with the outlets to retain a plug inside its outlet. This system
is a lever-actuated grip that prevents the plug from accidentally being bumped out or vibrating out of the outlet.
It is not a locking device so the plug can still be removed in an emergency.
To operate the grip mechanism:
1. Make sure the locking lever is on the “O” position before inserting the plug.
2. Plug in the power cord.
3. Gently rotate the lever to the “+” position. You should hear a “click” sound as the plug retention
hanism engages.
