Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this PDU with a standard 13A wall outlet?

No. This PDU is designed for a 32A industrial circuit and must not be connected to a standard 13A domestic outlet using adapters.

Does this PDU include surge protection?

This model is designed for power distribution and does not feature built-in surge suppression.

What is the maximum power load supported?

The unit supports a maximum total load of 4000W.

Is the cable detachable?

No, the 1.8m heavy-load cable is hardwired to the unit for safety and reliability.

Can this be mounted vertically?

This unit is designed specifically for horizontal mounting in 19-inch rack profiles.

What type of plug does the power cable have?

It features a 32A Commando (3-pin, blue, IEC 60309) industrial plug.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator light is off

Check that the master switch is set to the 'On' position and verify that the upstream circuit breaker has not tripped.

Intermittent power to connected devices

Ensure the Commando plug is fully inserted and locked. Verify that individual device cables are firmly seated in the UK sockets.

Unit is hot to the touch

Check if the total load exceeds 4000W. If it does, unplug non-essential equipment immediately. Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation space within the rack.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Secure locking mechanism provided by the 32A Commando plug
Sturdy aluminum build quality for industrial environments
Efficient space utilization in server rack setups
Clear visual power status via the neon-lit rocker switch
Large 4000W capacity handles high-density equipment loads

Cons

Requires a 32A rated circuit which is not standard in residential homes
Horizontal mounting only, not suitable for vertical zero-U configurations
1.8m cable length may require extensions in larger rack setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Secure the PDU to the 19-inch mounting rails of your cabinet using appropriate cage nuts and screws.
Electrical Safety: Ensure your power source is rated for 32A. Do not attempt to use an adapter to force this into a 13A wall socket, as this poses a significant fire hazard.
Cable Management: Use the 1.8m cable to reach the nearest industrial power source. Avoid coiling the excess cable tightly, as this can lead to heat buildup.
Maintenance: Regularly check the plug and sockets for dust accumulation. Clean only with a dry, anti-static cloth. Ensure the neon switch cover is kept closed during normal operation to prevent accidental switching.
