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.

Important Warnings

• The PDU provides convenient multiple outlets distributed across two independent power
circuits, 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 extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.

• 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.

• 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 each of the two independent
power circuits must not exceed the maximum load rating for that circuit.

• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the PDU housing. There are no user­serviceable 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.

Installation

STEP 1A - Zero U Rack Configuration. Attach the three
mounting clips supplied with the PDU to the rack enclosure
using the included hardware. The mounting clips should be
attached along a vertical plane at equidistant points which
roughly correspond to the center and ends of the PDU. The
exact mounting configuration may vary depending on the rack
and enclosure. If possible, use pre-existing mounting points
within the enclosure.

STEP 1B - Wall or Under-Counter Configuration. Attach
the three mounting clips supplied with the PDU to a wall or
similar flat, secure surface using the included hardware. The
mounting clips should be attached along a vertical or
horizontal plane at equidistant points which roughly
correspond to the center and ends of the PDU. If possible, use
pre-existing mounting points. WARNING: Do not attempt

to mount the PDU with the outlets facing downward; the
mounting clips are not designed to support the weight of
the PDU in that manner.

STEP 1C - Zero U Rack Configuration (Mounting Buttons).

Attach the included mounting buttons to the PDU. Position the
PDU as desired in the rack enclosure, align the buttons with the
rack mounting slots, and slide the PDU into position.

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.

STEP 2: Attach the PDU to the mounting clips. Using an
assistant, place a rear corner of the PDU at an inside edge of
the mounting clips, pivot the PDU toward the alternate inside
edge and snap into place.

STEP 3: Attach each input plug of the PDU to a grounded
outlet. The input plugs, power cords, breakers and outlets are

color-coded to correspond to the two independent power
circuits. WARNING: Attach each input plug to a separate

power circuit. Consult with the electrician at the
installation site if necessary.

STEP 4: Attach equipment to the PDU. Do not exceed the

load rating for each circuit; distribute equipment appropriately
between the two circuits to obtain the maximum utility from
the PDU. The total electrical current used by each circuit will
be displayed on the corresponding digital meter in amperes.
The meter labels are color-coded to match the circuits.

STEP 5: Optional Installation. The PDU includes two
adapters that convert the L5-20P input plugs to 5-20P input
plugs. Use both adapters, a single adapter or neither of the
adapters. The adapters are optional; the PDU will work
properly without connecting the adapters. The adapters are not
color-coded.
