Frequently Asked Questions - PDUMV24-S15-120V Black Box

How do I mount the PDUMV24-S15-120V in a rack?

Use the included vertical mounting brackets to attach the PDU to the rear vertical rails of a standard 19-inch rack. Secure with screws (not included). The unit is designed for 0U placement.

What does the digital display show?

The LED display shows the total current draw in amperes. It allows you to monitor load and avoid overloading the circuit.

Can I plug in C13/C19 connectors?

No, this model uses NEMA 5-15R outlets (standard 3-prong US plugs). For C13/C19 outlets, consider other Black Box models.

What is the maximum load for this PDU?

The maximum load is 15 amps (1800 watts) at 120 VAC. Do not exceed this rating to avoid tripping the circuit breaker.

Is this PDU surge protected?

Yes, it includes 1080 Joule surge protection to safeguard connected equipment from voltage spikes.

How do I reset the unit after an overload?

Press the circuit breaker button on the front panel after reducing the load. The breaker will reset and the display will turn back on.

Can I daisy-chain multiple PDUs?

No, daisy-chaining is not recommended. Each PDU must be connected directly to a dedicated wall outlet. Use a separate circuit for each unit.

What is the cord length?

The input cord is 10 feet (3 meters) long with a NEMA 5-15P plug.

How do I clean the PDU?

Unplug the unit and wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Does this PDU support remote monitoring?

No, this is a basic metered PDU without network connectivity. For remote monitoring, consider Black Box’s switched or intelligent PDUs.

Overview

The metered PDU LCD display shows the current power draw in amps. The metered PDU only has one function button, MUTE, located next to the display. The metered PDU's alarm sounds when the current draw reaches 80% of capacity. The alarm can be turned off by pressing the MUTE button. When the current draw exceeds 90% of the maximum current rating, the alarm cannot be muted, and the PDU alarms until the current draw is reduced.
