Specifications Overview The BRE and VRTE Series products are Power Distribution Units (PDU) intended for connection to a 20 Amp AC Mains circuit. The BRE and VRTE Series PDUs connect to AC Mains power through an IEC-320 C19 style AC Inlet. These PDUs are rated 125/250 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 16 A and can optionally be configured with single pole thermal breakers or hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers used for supplementary over-current protection of the output receptacles 1.
Detachable Power Supply Cords Use only detachable power supply cords of the appropriate size and type, as stated below, with the PDU. 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.
Installation Instructions 1. Using appropriate hardware, mount PDU to rack (see Mounting section for additional instructions. 2. Plug PDU into de-energized 20 Amp branch circuit receptacle3. 3. Connect devices into PDU’s output receptacles. It is recommended that the devices are turned off until all devices are connected to PDU 4. Turn on branch circuit to energize PDU. 5. Power on devices. Sequential power up is recommended to avoid high inrush current.

Optional Local Monitoring 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 an easy to read, 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 will automatically begin cycling through the displayed values when the PDU is connected to AC Mains power.
