WARNING! Read and understand all sections in this guide before installing or operating this product.

WARNING! Connect this product to an AC power source whose voltage is within the range specified on the

product's nameplate. Operating this product outside the nameplate voltage range may result in electric shock,

fire, personal injury and death.

WARNING! Connect this product to an AC power source that is current limited by a suitably rated fuse or

circuit breaker in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Operating this product without proper

current limiting may result in electric shock, fire, personal injury and death.

WARNING! Connect this product to a protective earth ground. Never use a "ground lift adaptor" between the

product's plug and the wall receptacle. Failure to connect to a protective earth ground may result in electric

shock, fire, personal injury and death.

WARNING! This product contains no user serviceable parts. Do not open, alter or disassemble this product. All

servicing must be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power before servicing this product. Failure to

comply with this warning may result in electric shock, personal injury and death.

WARNING! Use this product in a dry location. Failure to use this product in a dry location may result in electric

shock, personal injury and death.

WARNING! Do not rely on this product's receptacle lamps, receptacle relay switches or any other receptacle

power on/off indicator to determine whether power is being supplied to a receptacle. Unplug a device

connected to this product before performing repair, maintenance or service on the device. Failure to unplug a

device before servicing it may result in electric shock, fire, personal injury and death.

WARNING! Only use this product to power information technology equipment that has a UL/IEC 60950-1 or

equivalent rating. Attempting to power non-rated devices may result in electric shock, fire, personal injury and

death.

WARNING! Do not use a Raritan product containing outlet relays to power large inductive loads such as

motors or compressors. Attempting to power a large inductive load may result in damage to the relay.

WARNING! Do not use this product to power critical patient care equipment, fire or smoke alarm systems. Use

Safety Guidelines

1. Installation of this product should only be performed by a person who has knowledge and experience

with electric power.

2. Make sure the line cord is disconnected from power before physically mounting or moving the location of

this product.

3. This product is designed to be used within an electronic equipment rack. The metal case of this product is

electrically bonded to the line cord ground wire. A threaded grounding point on the case may be used as

an additional means of protectively grounding this product and the rack.

4. Examine the branch circuit receptacle that will supply electric power to this product. Make sure the

receptacle’s power lines, neutral and protective earth ground pins are wired correctly and are the correct

voltage and phase. Make sure the branch circuit receptacle is protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit

breaker.

5. If the product is a model that contains receptacles that can be switched on/off, electric power may still be

present at a receptacle even when it is switched off.

Tip 1: The outlet (socket) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Tip 2: For detailed information on any Raritan PDU's overcurrent protectors' design, refer to that model's

product specification on Raritan website's PDU Product Selector page

https://www.raritan.com/product-selector.
