This PDU requires a properly grounded outlet
for safety. If you’re not sure if your home’s
electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
If a rooftop device such as a satellite dish
connects to the PDU, ensure that the device’s
wires are also properly grounded.
Liquid: avoiding electrical shocks
Do not operate the PDU if liquid of any kind is
spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate
it near rain or water, even water that is
contained (for example, bathtub or sink).
Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-
ventilated location; this can overheat the
unit, possibly even causing a fire. If used in a
small space other than an EIA-standard rack,
ensure that there is adequate space around
the device.
Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for is
a light dusting. Unplug the PDU from the wall
outlet before cleaning it. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
