Connecting the PDU

2-1NEMAAdapter Connection (Optional - PDUMH20HVNET Only): The PDUMH20HVNET includes a plug adapter that adds a NEMA L6-20P plug to the input power cord. Use this adapter only if you will be connecting the PDUMH20HVNET to a NEMA L6-20R outlet. Insert the IEC 60320 C19 connector A of the adapter into the IEC 60320 C20 connector B of the input power cord. Secure the connection with the retention bracket C by using the included bolts to fasten the two halves of the bracket around the connection as shown. Caution: To avoid the risk of electric shock, ensure that the Neutral (L2) conductor has been identified before connecting the PDU.

2-2Input Power Cord Connection: Insert the IEC 60320 C19 (PDUMH20HVNET) or IEC 60320 C13 (PDUMH15HVNET) connector A

of the input power cord into the IEC 60320 C20 (PDUMH20HVNET) or IEC 60320 C14

(PDUMH15HVNET) inlet B of the PDU. Connect the other end of the input power cord

Cto a compatible source of AC power, such as a UPS system, PDU or utility outlet. The PDU should be provided with over-current protection: PDUMH20HVNET should be provided with a maximum 20A branch-rated over-current protection device; PDUMH15HVNET should be provided with a maximum 15A branch-rated over-current protection device.

Note: The AC power source should not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or refrigerator).

2-3Equipment Power Cord Connection: Insert the IEC 60320 C14 connectors A of the equipment power cords into the IEC 60320 C13 output receptacles B of the PDU. The LED C near each output receptacle illuminates when the receptacle is ready to distribute live AC power. The digital load meter D will display the total connected equipment load in amps.

2-4Cord Retention (Optional): If you

 

attached the cord retention shelf in step 1-6 ,

 

tie the input power cord and each equipment

 

power cord to the retention shelf. Attach each

 

cord to the retention shelf by looping the cord

 

and securing it to an attachment point with one

 

of the included cable ties. Make sure that each

 

cord can be unplugged from the PDU without

 

removing the cable tie.
