How to use

Install the AP4424A in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 2U of space and connect both IEC 309 inlets to separate power sources or PDUs to enable automatic transfer functionality. Connect your single-corded devices to the IEC C13 and C19 outlets. Access the device via the secure web UI, SNMP or CLI to configure transfer thresholds, network settings and integration with EcoStruxure IT. Verify circuit breaker settings and ensure proper grounding before powering connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, connect the two inlets to independent power sources or redundant PDUs, keep firmware updated through APC NMC3, and monitor environmental sensors where available. Follow rack power planning guidelines to avoid overloading the 32 A rating and schedule periodic inspections of connections and circuit protection.
