Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be
followed during the installation, operation, and storage of this product.
Failure to heed these instructions and warnings will void the product
warranty.
• The PDU provides convenient multiple outlets, but it DOES NOT provide surge or line noise
protection for connected equipment.
• The PDU is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment away from excess moisture,
temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Do not connect the PDU to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that eliminate
the connection to ground.
• The power requirement for each piece of equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the
individual outlet’s load rating.
• The total power requirement for equipment connected to the PDU must not exceed the maximum
load rating for the PDU.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the PDU housing. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the PDU, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the PDU if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Do not attempt to mount the PDU to an insecure or unstable surface.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably
be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or
effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Installation
Mounting the PDU
The PDU supports five primary mounting configurations: 1U Rack, 0U Rack (Vertical), Wall, UnderCounter and Reduced-Depth.
Note: Regardless of configuration, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. The PDU and
included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications. Exact
mounting configurations may vary. Screws for attaching the mounting brackets and cord retention shelf to the PDU are included. Use
only the screws supplied by the manufacturer, or their exact equivalent (#6-32, ¼" flat head).
1-1 1U Rack Mounting: Use 4 screws to
attach each of the 2 longer mounting brackets
to the PDU as shown. You can mount the PDU
in a recessed position by attaching the mounting
brackets so they extend beyond the front panel
of the PDU. (If you plan to use the cord
retention shelf, attach the mounting brackets in a
recessed position.) Mount the PDU in the rack
by inserting 4 user-supplied screws through
the mounting brackets and into the mounting
D
holes of the rack rails.

1-2 0U Rack Mounting: Use 4 screws to
A
attach each of the 2 shorter mounting brackets
B
to the PDU as shown. Mount the PDU
vertically by inserting 2 or more user-supplied
screws through the mounting brackets
DC
and into mounting points in the rack or rack
enclosure.
1-3 Wall Mounting: Use 4 screws to attach
each of the 2 shorter mounting brackets to
A
B
the PDU as shown. Mount the PDU to the wall
by inserting 2 or more user-supplied screws
through the mounting brackets and into
D
C
secure mounting points.
1-4 Under-Counter Mounting: Use 4 screws
A
to attach each of the 2 shorter mounting
B
brackets to the PDU as shown. Mount the
PDU under the counter by inserting 2 or more
user-supplied screws through the mounting
D
brackets and into secure mounting points.

1-5 Reduced-Depth Mounting: Use 4 screws
A
to attach each of the 2 shorter mounting
B
brackets to the PDU as shown. Mount the
PDU to a stable surface with the outlets facing
upward by inserting 2 or more user-supplied
screws through the mounting brackets and
DC
into secure mounting points.
1-6 Cord Retention Shelf Attachment
(Optional): Use 2 screws to attach the cord
retention shelf to the front panel of the PDU.

Connecting the PDU
2-1 NEMA Adapter Connection (Optional -
PDUMH20HVNET Only): The
PDUMH20HVNET includes a plug adapter that
adds a NEMA L6-20P plug to the input power
cord. Use this adapter only if you will be
connecting the PDUMH20HVNET to a NEMA
L6-20R outlet. Insert the IEC 60320 C19
connector of the adapter into the IEC 60320
C20 connector of the input power cord.
Secure the connection with the retention
bracket by using the included bolts to fasten
the two halves of the bracket around the
connection as shown. Caution: To avoid the
risk of electric shock, ensure that the Neutral
(L2) conductor has been identified before
connecting the PDU.
2-2 Input Power Cord Connection: Insert the
IEC 60320 C19 (PDUMH20HVNET) or IEC
60320 C13 (PDUMH15HVNET) connector
of the input power cord into the IEC 60320 C20
(PDUMH20HVNET) or IEC 60320 C14
(PDUMH15HVNET) inlet of the PDU.
Connect the other end of the input power cord
C
a UPS system, PDU or utility outlet. The PDU
should be provided with over-current
protection: PDUMH20HVNET should be
provided with a maximum 20A branch-rated
over-current protection device;
PDUMH15HVNET should be provided with a
maximum 15A branch-rated over-current
protection device.
Note: The AC power source should not share a circuit with a
heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator).
2-3 Equipment Power Cord Connection:
Insert the IEC 60320 C14 connectors of the
equipment power cords into the IEC 60320 C13
output receptacles of the PDU. The LED
near each output receptacle illuminates when
the receptacle is ready to distribute live AC
power. The digital load meter will display
the total connected equipment load in amps.
2-4 Cord Retention (Optional): If you
attached the cord retention shelf in step ,
tie the input power cord and each equipment
power cord to the retention shelf. Attach each
cord to the retention shelf by looping the cord
and securing it to an attachment point with one
of the included cable ties. Make sure that each
cord can be unplugged from the PDU without
removing the cable tie.
