FAQs
How do I mount this PDU?
The PDU is designed for horizontal mounting onto a desk or bench. You will need to use screws (not supplied) through the designated mounting holes on the unit to secure it to your surface.
What is the maximum power output for the USB ports?
The product description does not specify the individual or combined maximum output for the USB ports. It is suitable for charging standard smartphones and similar devices.
Can I use this PDU for high-power appliances like heaters?
This PDU is intended for standard electronic devices and charging. It is not recommended for high-power appliances that draw significant wattage, as this could overload the unit.
What type of power cable does it use?
The PDU comes with an integrated power cable designed to plug directly into a standard UK mains socket.
How many devices can be connected simultaneously?
You can connect up to two devices to the UK mains sockets and up to two devices to the USB ports simultaneously, provided the total power draw does not exceed the unit's capacity.
Is the PDU surge-protected?
The product description does not mention surge protection features.
Troubleshooting
Unit not powering any devices
Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into a working mains socket. Check that the mains socket itself has power by testing with another device. Verify that the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the PDU's limit.
USB ports not charging devices
Try a different USB cable and ensure the device is compatible with the USB port's output. Test the USB port with a different known-working USB device. Ensure no single USB port is overloaded if multiple devices are connected.
Mains sockets not working
Check if a device is receiving power from the mains socket. If an internal fuse is present and has blown, it may need replacing (refer to product specifications for fuse type, if applicable and user-replaceable). Contact support if the issue persists.
