SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be
followed during the installation, operation and storage of this Tripp Lite product.
Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.
PDU/Switch Location Warnings
• The switch provides the convenience of multiple outlets, but DOES NOT provide surge or line
noise protection for connected equipment.
• The switch is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment, away from excess
moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, maintain an indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and
40º C) with relative humidity between 10% and 90% (non-condensing).
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards. Be sure to use the proper
overcurrent protection for the installation in accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the switch for proper ventilation.
• Keep the switch away from high-frequency, strong-current devices (e.g., radio transmitting
stations, transmitters and broadband amplifiers).
• Use electromagnetic shielding (if required).
• For rackmount configuration, ensure that both the rack and switch are properly grounded.
• If the switch is not rack mounted, securely place it on a sturdy, flat surface.
• The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the equipment
and easily accessible.
• Improper installation can cause product damage that is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not expose the network switch’s connected networking cables to outdoor elements.
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).
PDU/Switch Connection Warnings
• 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.
• Keep the switch’s input power off during installation.
• Use only the power cord that came included with the switch.
• Make sure the power supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the switch.
• The total power requirement for equipment connected to the switch must not exceed the
maximum load rating for the PDU’s circuit breaker.
• Do not connect the switch to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the switch housing. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the switch, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the switch if any part of it becomes damaged.
