Sentry Industries PT40 - Manual (Page 12)

Connecting to the Power Source
The input power cord must first be attached to the unit before connecting the unit to the power source.
Each outlet powers up sequentially, with a two-second delay between each outlet, eliminating a
potential blown primary fuse or circuit breaker from excessive in-rush current.
To attach the power cord to the unit:
1. Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into its connector at the base.
2. Use a screwdriver to tighten the two screws on the retention bracket.
To connect to the power source:
Plug the male end of the power cord into the AC power source.
Connecting Devices
To avoid the possibility of noise due to arcing, keep the device’s on/off switch in the off position until
after it is plugged into the outlet, or log in to the Commander and turn the outlets off before connecting
the devices to the unit(s). After connecting the devices, turn them on using the Commander.
1. Connect devices to the outlets.
On 230V units, install a retention clip for each outlet; Pull the prongs out slightly and insert them
into holes on the Commander, then insert the device’s power cord and snap the clip over the cord.
NOTE: The outlet retention clips on the 230V Commanders are designed for use with Server Technology’s IEC
60320/C13 to IEC 60320/C14 cable (CAB-1302). The retention clip may not properly fit 3
rd party cables.
Always disconnect the power supply cord before opening to avoid electrical shock.
Afin d’éviter les chocs électriques, débranchez le cable électrique avant d’ouvrir.
