2 INSTALLATION
Use the following images in the mounting section to install your rack PDU.
NOTE: Please visit http://www.VertivCo.com/ComplianceRegulatoryInfo for important safety
information prior to installation.
To install your unit:
1. Using appropriate hardware, mount the unit to the rack.
2. Plug the rPDU into an appropriately-rated and protected branch-circuit receptacle.
3. Plug in the devices to be powered by the rPDU.
4. Turn on each device connected to the rPDU.
NOTE: It is recommended that all connected equipment is powered on in a sequential manner to avoid
high inrush current.
NOTE: XP Series rPDUs may optionally be configured as Isolated Ground units. All Isolated Ground
units will be shipped with an enclosure grounding cable. This cable must be connected between the
enclosure and a reliable safety ground.

2.1.1 Optional surge suppression
The SP, SVR, and VSS Series rPDUs include a surge suppression circuit that is designed to prevent
voltage surges on the input power line from reaching devices powered by the rPDU. The surge
suppression circuit uses Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) connected between line, neutral, and ground wires
to prevent voltage surges from damaging connected devices.

2.1.2 Optional local metering
Power meter
The Geist PM-1 power meter is a low-power, high accuracy meter capable of measuring true RMS Current,
Voltage, Power, and Power Factor. These values are individually shown on a 4-digit LED Display, which
continuously scrolls through the four different measured values. Each one of these displayed parameters
is defined below. The power meter automatically cycles through the displayed values when the rPDU is
connected to AC Mains power.
Vertiv™ | Basic Rack PDU Installer/User Guide

•Current: rPDU output current draw measured in true RMS Amps.
•Voltage: rPDU output voltage measured in true RMS Voltage.
•Power: rPDU output power measured in Watts – referred to as real or active power.
•Power Factor: Ratio of real rPDU output power to apparent rPDU output power.
Figure 2.16 Power Meter Display
Current meter
The Geist CM-1 current meter is a low-power, high accuracy meter capable of measuring true RMS
Current. The value of current is continuously shown on a 4-digit LED Display. The Current Meter
automatically displays the value of output current when the rPDU is connected to AC Mains power.

3 APPENDICES
Appendix A: Rack In-line Power Measurement Unit
A.1 Product Specifications
Basic rack PDUs not equipped with local current monitoring can be retrofit with L-Series inline power
monitoring units. The L-series products are inline power monitoring units intended for connection
between an AC Mains circuit and a Rack Power Distribution Unit (rPDU). The inline power monitoring
units are designed to be powered by a single phase AC input circuit and have an outlet or output cord
and connector body for connection to an external device (such as an rPDU). The Inline power monitoring
units are rated from 12 to 32 Amps depending on the unit’s configuration. Inline power monitoring units
can be configured with a Geist local current meter or power meter to perform the monitoring functions.

Figure A.1 L-Series Inline Power Monitoring Unit
A.2 Detachable power supply cords
L-Series Inline Power Monitoring Units may optionally be configured with an AC Inlet for connection to AC
Mains power. Use only detachable power supply cords of the appropriate size and type, as stated below,
with the unit. Use only with light PVC sheathed flexible cords (according to IEC 60227) or ordinary tough
rubber-sheathed flexible cords (according to IEC 60245) that terminate in an attachment plug meeting
local/national code requirements.
For Global units use a minimum 1.5 mm2 nominal conductor cross-sectional area detachable power supply
cord with ratings of 300 V and 75 °C. The power supply cord cable designation should be H03VV-F,
H03VVH2-F, or better.
For North American units use a minimum 14 AWG power supply cord with ratings of 300 V and 75 °C. The
power supply cord cable designation should be SJT or better.
To install an L-Series inline power monitoring unit:
NOTE: Please visit http://www.VertivCo.com/ComplianceRegulatoryInfo for important safety
information prior to installation.
1. Using the appropriate hardware, mount the In-Line Meter to the rack.
2. Plug the In-Line Meter into de-energized branch circuit receptacle.
3. Connect the external device to the In-Line Meter’s output outlet or connector.
4. Turn on the branch circuit to energize the In-Line Meter.
5. Power on the external device.
NOTE: Branch Circuit should be sized based on the In-Line Meter’s nameplate electrical rating. For
North American units, the branch circuit should have a current rating equal to 125% of the unit’s
nameplate current rating. For global units, the branch circuit should have a current rating equal to the
unit’s nameplate current rating.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Ensure all devices plugged in to the rack PDU receptacles are receiving power.
No service or maintenance is required. Do not attempt to open the rPDU or you may void the warranty.
There are no serviceable parts inside the rPDU. It is recommended that power be removed from the unit
before installing or removing any equipment.
