death. Read and understand all instructions for proper installation and
use of this product.
CAUTION
: The input plug of this power tap is intended to serve as the
disconnect device, it shall be easily accessible and withdrawn.

Installation Guidelines
•
Overcurrent protection is an element accounted for during the building/room
design and installation. The PDU relies on adequate building overcurrent
protection. Insure that UL listed circuit breakers are utilized for overcurrent
protection.
•
Install the PDU using qualified installation and service personnel.
•
Do not inhibit cabinet airflow with the installation of the PDU.
•
Avoid uneven mounting which could develop into a hazardous condition.
•
Equipment plugged into this PDU should be grounded to a grounding bus
separate from the branch circuit grounding bus.
•
Insure that the outlet plugs on the PDU are easily and readily accessible for
interruption of service (disconnection). Do not block or obstruct access to the
outlets in any way.
•
ALWAYS disconnect all input and output power cords on the PDU before
servicing. Never install the PDU in a location where there may be a presence of
water.
•
Remove power to the PDU before removing existing or installing new equipment.
Notes
•
Elevated Operating Ambient
-
If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum rated ambient temperature of 45˚C (113 °F).
•
Reduced Air Flow
–
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
•
Mechanical Loading
–
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
•
Circuit Overloading
–
Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the affect that
overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable Earthing
–
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit.
•
Service Personnel
–
Only service personnel should install and
access this equipment.
