IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains information concerning the proper installation and use of Tripp Lite’s 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.

Installation

 

1U Rackmount Installation

 

To Mount Unit in Rack: Put four user-supplied rackmount screws (A) through the unit’s

 

mounting ears (B) and into the rack rails as shown. The user must determine the fitness of the

 

rackmount screws to hold the unit in the rack before installation.

 

0U Rackmount Installation

1U Rackmount Installation

1. Reorient Mounting Ears: Unscrew the screws (A) holding the unit’s mounting ears (B) to

 

the sides of the unit. Use the screws from Step 1 (A) to reattach the mounting ears (B) to the

 

unit as shown. Use only the manufacturer-supplied screws or their equivalent (#6-32, ¼" flat

 

head) to reattach the mounting ears.

 

2. Mount Unit on Outside of Rack Rails: Put four user-supplied screws (C) or similar mounting hardware through the unit’s mounting ears (B) and into the side of the rack as shown. The user must determine the fitness of the user-supplied mounting hardware to support the unit before mounting.

Wallmount/Under Counter Installation

0U Rackmount Installation

Reorient the unit’s mounting ears as per the 0U Rackmount Installation above, then put four user-supplied screws or similar mounting hardware through the unit’s mounting ears and into the mounting surface. The user must determine the fitness of the user-supplied mounting hardware to support the unit before mounting.

Features

Circuit Breaker(s)

If the current draw of the equipment connected to your power strip exceeds your model’s Maximum Load Rating (see Specifications) for longer than a few seconds, a circuit breaker will trip to prevent any possible damage. 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 (IEC Model Only)

The PDU12IEC has no power cord. Instead, it has a 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.
