Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum power this PDU can handle?

The PDU has a maximum load capacity of 4000W, which is equivalent to 16A at 250v.

What type of plug does this PDU have?

It is fitted with a 16A 3-pin IP44 Commando plug, which is commonly used for industrial and high-power connections.

Can this PDU be mounted horizontally?

This PDU is specifically designed for vertical mounting due to its length. While it can be mounted under a desk, its orientation is vertical.

Does the PDU come with mounting hardware?

No, fixings for mounting the PDU (especially for under-desk use) are not supplied with the unit.

How long is the power cable?

The power cable is 3 meters in length.

Is the switch illuminated?

Yes, the PDU features an illuminated rocker switch with a protective cover for visibility and safety.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

The IP44 rating indicates that the Commando plug is protected against solid objects greater than 1mm and splashes of water from any direction.

Troubleshooting

PDU not powering connected devices

Ensure the 16A Commando plug is securely connected to a live power source. Check if the illuminated rocker switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the total load does not exceed the 4000W limit. Inspect the cable for damage.

One or more sockets not working

If the illuminated switch is on and the main plug is connected, this may indicate an internal fault. Check if the individual devices plugged into the faulty sockets work when plugged into another outlet. If multiple sockets fail, contact support.

Overheating

Immediately unplug the PDU if it feels excessively hot. Ensure the total power load is within the 4000W limit and that connected devices are not drawing more power than specified. Check that ventilation is not blocked.

Rocker switch cover is loose or damaged

While the switch remains functional, a damaged cover compromises protection. Consider replacement if the cover is essential for the environment (e.g., preventing dust ingress or accidental switching).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the mounting location: This PDU is designed for vertical mounting. Ensure sufficient clearance for its 66cm total length including mounting ears. It can be mounted within a cabinet using its rear ears or under a desk. Use appropriate fixings (not supplied) suitable for the mounting surface.
  2. Connect the 16A Commando plug to a compatible power source.
  3. Connect your equipment to the 10 UK 3-pin sockets.
  4. Ensure the total power draw does not exceed the 4000W (16A at 250v) maximum load.

Compatibility:

  • The PDU is compatible with standard UK 3-pin plugs for connected equipment.
  • The 16A 3-pin Commando plug requires a corresponding industrial power outlet.

Care:

  • Keep the PDU clean and dry. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring it is unplugged first.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Regularly check the cable and plug for any signs of damage.
  • Ensure ventilation around the PDU is not obstructed, especially when powering high-load devices.
