Frequently Asked Questions - PDUBHV20B Tripp Lite

How to install the PDUBHV20B power strip?

Mount the device in a 19-inch rack (48.3 cm) using the included brackets, or on a wall. Connect the main power cable to an unswitched power outlet. Then connect your UPS as indicated in the manual.

What is the purpose of the bypass switch?

The bypass switch allows you to manually transfer connected equipment to direct mains power, so you can maintain or replace the UPS without interrupting power to the equipment.

How to use ECO mode?

Activate ECO mode by setting the switch to ENABLE. When the load on the master outlet drops below 20 W, the controllable outlets are automatically turned off to save energy.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The MAIN POWER LED (green) indicates that mains power is present. The BYPASS LED (yellow) lights up in bypass mode. The controllable outlet group LED (green) lights up when the outlets are powered. The MASTER LED (green) indicates that the master outlet is powered.

What types of equipment can I plug into the controllable outlets?

The controllable outlets are intended for peripherals that can be automatically turned off (e.g., monitors, printers) when the master equipment (e.g., PC) goes into standby, if ECO mode is enabled.

Can I use this power strip without a UPS?

Yes, but the bypass function and controllable outlets are designed to work with a UPS. Without a UPS, the bypass switch will not have a relevant effect.

What is the maximum supported power?

Power depends on the model. For the PDUBHV20B, the maximum load is typically 20 A (at 200-240 V), approximately 4800 VA. Check the label on your device.

Does the power strip protect against surges?

The manual does not mention built-in surge protection. The main function is bypass switching and ECO control. For surge protection, use a surge protector or a suitable UPS.

How to clean and maintain the device?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Wipe it with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or abrasive products. Avoid exposure to moisture or excessive heat.

What to do in case of malfunction?

First check connections and LED status. If the problem persists, contact Tripp Lite support. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself, as this would void the warranty.

1. Introduction

This product is used as an external power distribution unit in conjunction with UPS systems. It enables the user to manually transfer the connected equipment to utility power via a bypass switch, permitting scheduled maintenance or UPS replacement without interruption of connected equipment.

The optional ECO Switching feature enables power savings by automatically powering off Controllable Output Receptacle Group outlets when the device connected to the master outlet is powered off or goes into a low-power consumption mode.

Rack Mount or Wall Mount the Unit

The module can be mounted to a 19-inch enclosure or wall. Follow Figure 1 for rack mounting or Figure 2 for wall mounting.

4. Installation

Inspection

Remove the unit from the shipping package and inspect it for damage that may have occurred during transport. Notify the carrier and your dealer if any damage is found.

Connect to the Wall Outlet

Plug the Bypass PDU main input cord to an unprotected AC outlet. This connection is labeled MAIN INPUT on the PDU. The MAIN POWER LED will illuminate when mains input is available.

Note: For models PDUBHV101U and PDUBHV201U, you may need to use your UPS system's power cable to connect the Bypass PDU to the AC power source.

4. Installation

Connect UPS

1. Connect the UPS input cord to the outlet for UPS input power cord (4). This outlet is labeled "To UPS Input" on the Bypass PDU.
2. Connect the protected UPS input power connection on the Bypass PDU to a protected UPS outlet. This connection is labeled "To UPS Output" on the bypass PDU.

Note: For models PDUBHV101U and PDUBHV201U, use the supplied power cords to make these connections.

Protected UPS Input Power Connection

Connect Equipment

There are two types of outputs: Master and Controllable Group receptacles. Outlet functions are controlled by the ECO load control switch. When this switch is set to DISABLE, all outlets will operate in an always-on capacity. In this configuration, protected equipment can be connected to any outlet whether it is part of the Master or Controllable Group set of outlets for always-on operation during both Normal and Bypass Modes.

When the ECO load control switch is set to ENABLE, the device connected to the load-sensing Master outlet will offer automatic power OFF/ON control of the set of Controllable Group outlets. In this configuration, powering off the device connected to the Master outlet will automatically power off the devices connected to the Controllable Group outlets. Anytime the Master outlet current is measured to be 20W or less, the Controllable Group outlets will power off within 1 second.

4. Installation

Plug Computer into Controllable Output Receptacle

Plug Peripherals into Controllable Output Receptacle Group

Normal/Bypass Mode Operation

Before transferring to maintenance bypass, make sure the Main Power LED is illuminated. Transfer the rotary bypass switch from NORMAL to BYPASS. At this time, the Bypass Mode LED will illuminate and all connected devices will be powered by utility power directly. You may turn off the UPS and disconnect two cables connecting to the UPS. You may now service or replace the UPS.

Transfer to UPS Protection

After maintenance service is complete, ensure the UPS operation is normal. Reconnect the UPS to the unit by following the steps in section 4. Installation. Verify the Main Power LED is illuminated. Then transfer the rotary bypass switch from BYPASS to NORMAL. All connected devices are now protected by the UPS.

ECO Mode Function Operation

After connecting all devices to the unit, press the ECO Mode function switch to ENABLE status () The Controllable Receptacle Group LED will illuminate when the connected load on the master output is above 20W. Press the ECO Mode function switch to DISABLE status () to disable the function. The Controllable Receptacle Group LED will be illuminated.
