IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains information concerning the proper
installation and use of Tripp Lite’s PDU Rackmount Power Strips. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not connect your power strip to an ungrounded outlet. Do not use it with extension cords or
adapters that eliminate its connection to ground. Your power strip is designed for indoor use only.
Install it away from heat emitting devices such as radiators and heat registers. Do not install where
excessive moisture or other conductive contaminants are present. Never install electrical wiring during
a lightning storm.
The power requirement of each device connected to an outlet of your power strip must not exceed the Outlet Power
Rating of your power strip. The total power requirements of all devices connected to your power strip must not exceed
the Maximum Load Rating of your power strip.

Features
Circuit Breaker(s)
If the current draw of the equipment connected to
your power strip exceeds your model’s Maximum
Load Rating for longer than a few seconds, a cir-
cuit breaker will trip to prevent any possible dam-
age. When a circuit breaker trips, its plunger will
pop up. Remove excess equipment and allow the
breaker to cool one minute before depressing its
plunger to reset the breaker.
Caution (PDU2430
model only): If you depress the circuit breaker
plunger during normal operation of your PDU,
power will be interrupted to the receptacles and
connected equipment will not be protected.
Grounding Lug
Use this screw (located by the power strip’s receptacles)
to connect your power strip to ground.
Input Receptacle
(PDU12IEC Model Only)
The PDU12IEC has no power cord. Instead, it has
an IEC C20 input receptacle. To connect a
PDU12IEC to utility power, use a user-supplied
detachable power cord with an IEC plug on one
end and a plug appropriate to your local utility outlets
on the other.
