IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains information
concerning the proper installation and use of Tripp Lite’s Power Distribution
Units (PDUs). SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Note: This PDU is intended only for use with select Tripp Lite UPS Systems.
Do not connect your PDU to an ungrounded outlet. Do not use it with extension cords or
adapters that eliminate its connection to ground. Your PDU is designed for indoor use
only. Install it away from heat emitting devices such as radiators and heat registers. Do
not install where excessive moisture or other conductive contaminants are present. Never

CAUTION! Outlets are divided into 240V AC and 120V AC types. A total load of 24 amps
can be drawn from the PDU6K. Do not exceed this current rating when connecting
equipment to the PDU6K. If you have any questions, call Tripp Lite Customer Support at

Congratulations! Your PDU6K power distribution unit will add a wide range of electrical outlets to select
Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS Systems and SmartPro UPS Systems. The PDU6K is equipped with a NEMA
