Overview
The XP Series products are Power Distribution Units (PDU) intended for connection to a 30 Amp
AC Mains circuit1. The PDUs are designed to be powered by either a single phase or a three phase
AC input circuit. Three phase units can be configured for either a delta or wye input connection.
XP Series PDUs can optionally be configured with a Geist Current Meter that provides local
monitoring and display of each output circuit current. Alternatively, XP Series PDUs can be
configured with a Geist Current Monitoring (EM) Meter that provides both local and remote
monitoring of input and output line current. XP Series PDUs can also be configured with advanced
wireless technology from Packet Power which allows for remote monitoring of input and output
power through a wirelessly connected gateway.

EMC Verification
This Class A device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
FCC and Canadian ICES-003 requirements for units with Current Monitoring (EM) Meter: The
ferrite core shipped with the unit must be placed around the Ethernet cable close to the PDU.

Instructions
1. Using appropriate hardware, mount PDU to rack (see Mounting section for additional
instructions.
2. Plug PDU into de-energized 30 Amp branch circuit receptacle
3. Connect devices into PDU’s output receptacles. It is recommended that the devices are turned
off until all devices are connected to PDU
4. Turn on branch circuit to energize PDU.
5. Power on devices. Sequential power up is recommended to avoid high inrush current.
Guidelines
If the PDU is installed in a cabinet the ambient temperature of the rack should be no greater
than 45C.
Install the PDU such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment is
not compromised.
Mount the PDU so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Follow nameplate ratings when connecting equipment to the branch circuit. Take into
consideration the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection
and supply wiring.
The PDU relies on the building installation for protection from over-current conditions. A
certified overcurrent protection device is required in the building installation. The overcurrent
protection device should be sized according to the PDU’s nameplate ratings and local/national
electrical codes.
Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. The PDU
must be connected to an earthed socket-outlet3.
The PDU is intended for Restricted Access Locations only and only qualified service personnel
should install and access the PDU.
For pluggable equipment, install the PDU so that the input plug or appliance coupler may be
disconnected for service.
Sequential power-up of devices powered by the PDU is recommended to avoid high inrush
current.
Caution: Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
The PDU is intended for use with TN, TT, or IT power supply systems
.
Branch Circuit should be sized based on the PDU’s nameplate electrical rating. A 24 Amp rated
PDU is intended for use on a 30 Amp Branch Circuit. For Global Units a 32 Amp rated PDU is
intended for use on a 32 Amp Branch Circuit.
XP Series PDUs may optionally be configured as Isolated Ground units. All Isolated Ground units
will be shipped with an enclosure grounding cable. This cable must be connected between the
enclosure and a reliable safety ground.
