Important Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation and
maintenance of all Tripp Lite Parallel PDUs.
Location Warnings
• Install your PDU indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, direct sunlight, dust and conductive contaminants.
• Install your PDU in a structurally sound area. Your PDU is heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.
• Only operate your PDU at indoor temperatures between 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C). For best results, keep indoor temperatures
between 62° F and 84° F (between 17° C and 29° C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the PDU for proper ventilation.
• Do not install the PDU near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support
equipment or to signicantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a ammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• When connecting to a UPS, the UPS is connected to a DC energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live when the UPS is not
connected to an AC supply.
Maintenance Warnings
• Your PDU does not require routine maintenance. Do not open for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Battery Warnings
• Service and repair should be done only by trained personnel. During any service work to the UPS, it should be turned off or manually bypassed via
the PDU. Note that potentially lethal voltages exist within this unit as long as the battery supply is connected.
• Do not connect or disconnect battery module(s) while the UPS is operating from the battery supply or when the detachable PDU is not in bypass
mode.
• During “hot-swap” battery module replacement your UPS will be unable to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout.
Introduction
Congratulations! Your SUPDMB-Series Parallel PDU allows you to congure two 8 or 10kVA UPS systems for fault-tolerant operation or increased
output capacity. Your UPS will auto-congure for redundancy or increased capacity based on the attached equipment’s load. In order to congure
your UPS for redundancy, you will need to obtain two separate 8/10kVA UPS systems and a SUPDMB20K, SUPDMB20KHW or SUPDMB20KIEC
Parallel PDU module. Contact Tripp Lite for additional conguration help.
10kVA Redundant Configuration (10kVA max load) 20kVA Non-Redundant Configuration (20kVA max load)
Redundant Operation YES
Fault-Tolerance YES
Hot-Swappable UPS Replacement YES
Increased Capacity NO
Redundant Operation NO
Fault-Tolerance NO
Hot-Swappable UPS Replacement YES
Increased Capacity YES
When two UPS systems are loaded to a
maximum of 50%, your conguration
will receive full redundancy—fault-
tolerance with full support for hot-
swappable UPS replacement in the case
of sudden UPS failure.
When two UPS systems are loaded to a
maximum of 100%, your conguration
will receive the full capacity of both
UPS systems combined to power larger
loads. This conguration does NOT
carry redundancy, fault-tolerance or hot-
swappable UPS replacement options.
To ensure fault-tolerance, load the two parallel UPS systems to a
maximum of 50% of the combined rating for both UPS systems. For
example, if you have two 10kVA UPS systems, you will have fault-
tolerant operation if the load level remains at 10kVA or lower.
Your can use this conguration to grow your UPS power capacity to
16kVA (when two 8kVA UPS systems are used) or 20kVA (when two
10kVA UPS systems are used). In this conguration, fault-tolerance is
NOT available.
