Compliance

Units have been safety tested/certified to the following standards: USA and Canada to UL 60950:2000 and CAN/CSA

22.2 No. 60950-00, European Union to EN60950:2000

USA Notification
Warning: Changes or modifications to these units not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment is a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Canadian Notification
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the

Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le Ministère des
Communications du Canada.

QUICK START GUIDE 2

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Server Technology Inc. Sentry family of products provides easy, practical, and secure solutions for
power distribution, power management and load-measurement for remote internetworking equipment
and branch AC circuits.

The Sentry Power Distribution Unit (PTPD) provides simple power distribution with cumulative load
monitoring for environments without a requirement for remote power management.

Features and Benefits

Sentry Power Distribution Units are available in 8-outlet, 16-outlet and 18-outlet configurations for
100-120VAC or 208-240VAC up to 30A. See Standard Models in Appendix C: Technical
Specifications.

Power Distribution

A Sentry Power Distribution Unit distributes a maximum of 30A AC power (dependant on PTPD
model) across a maximum of sixteen attached devices.

Load Measurement

The Sentry Power Distribution Unit’s load measurement feature eliminates guesswork by supplying the
cumulative operating load in amperes. This allows on-site technicians to maximize the equipment
installed and operated on a circuit without worry. Use of the circuit is maximized, while effectively
allowing a 10% to 20% safety margin. Remote users also may access this information at any time from
the Control Screen interface (Remote access not available on PTPD-xE models).

Over-Threshold Notification

Sentry Power Distribution Units features two standard over-threshold alarms; an audible alarm for the
local technician and a contact-closure alarm circuit which allows over-threshold alerts to be sent a third
party device (Not available on PTPD-xE models).

Technical Support

Server Technology understands that there are often questions when installing and/or using a new
product. Free Technical Support is provided from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday-Friday, Pacific Time.
See Technical Support in Warranty, Product Registration and Support for more information.
