Troubleshooting

PDU does not power on (switch not illuminated)

Ensure the 13A UK plug is securely inserted into a functioning mains socket. Check the mains socket by testing it with another appliance. Verify the illuminated switch is in the 'on' position.

Some or all sockets are not providing power

Check if the PDU's main illuminated switch is on. Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating. Try plugging a known working device into the affected socket to test it.

Overheating or unusual smell

Immediately switch off and unplug the PDU. Disconnect all devices. Check if the total load exceeds the 13A rating. If the issue persists after reducing the load, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer or supplier.
