This symbol indicates that a shock hazard may be present. Read the instruction
manual carefully and insure that the device is wired properly and that all settings
have been checked prior to applying power to the device.
The WARNING label indicates important information that should be heeded for safe and proper
performance of the device.
The label, CAUTION, is used to indicate that damage to the power supply or equipment
connected to it could occur if directions are not followed. Warranty could be invalidated if the

3.0 Features
The POWER
rack hardware or can be used as a bench top unit. The POWER
character, vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). The display emulates a liquid crystal display in its
command structure but the VFD gives the unit a greater viewing angle and better visibility than available
with most conventional LED or LCD displays. The display can be set to four different brightness levels.
Use a lower brightness setting to extend the already long expected life time of the display. Use brighter
settings for viewing areas where ambient light may be too bright or cause glare, or where greater viewing
distances are required.
Most features are accessible via the membrane keys on the front panel. Consult the section on each
function to check its availability. Operators are guided through the many features and options by selecting
their choices from an intuitive menu structure.
FRONT PANEL LOCKOUT
ANALOG RANGE SELECTION
Analog signal and control ranges are operator selectable. The operator can choose between three different
DC ranges:
POD
-400 serves as a convenient control center that can be rack-mounted using standard half-
The Front Panel Lockout function is only available through serial communication. Manual
Overrides remain available during Lockout via a minimum number of keystrokes using
dedicated keys for this purpose and allow any command setting to be overridden in either the
high (open) or low (closed) state.
POD
-400 is equipped with a 4 X 20
A fifteen (15) pin, high density, sub-miniature, D-type connector is provided for separate monitoring of
each channel’s analog transducer signal.
CAUTION: Consult the appropriate section for limits to the loading of these signals.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The POWERPOD-400 comes equipped with standard RS-232 and RS-485, serial communication. Most
functions, features, signals and alarms are accessible and modifiable via any remote computer.

except manually, from the front panel.

POWER SELECTION
Power input is switchable between 100 VAC, 115 VAC and 230VAC (50 or 60 Hz) via
the rear panel. For the safety of the operator as well as the device, the correct power
level should be selected prior to connecting to the power mains. See the table
“POWERPOD-400 Specifications” in section 3.0 for the proper fusing when changing
power settings.
RATIO CONTROL
Ratio control is possible between channels using a familiar master/slave configuration. Channel one
(1) must be enabled as the master channel. Any combination of the remaining channels is possible
for slave channel assignment.
TOTALIZER
A Totalizer function is present for each channel with the capability of counting down from a set
point, counting up to a set point or continuous count up. The maximum count is ±999999 units.
When the set points are reached, a memory flag for each set point is set to a digital ‘1’ indicating a
Boolean ‘true’ value. The Totalizer set point flags must be polled via digital communication to be
read. Each flow channel has one low-limit and one high-limit set point available. These alarms are
available via open-collector, opto-isolated outputs on the rear panel as well as serial
communication.
POWER OUTAGES AND THE OVERRIDE CONDITION
In the event of a power outage, even one of short duration, the POWER
POD
-400 is
designed to conduct a software reset. During the period of time in which the reset is
occurring, it will not accept or respond to any commands either manually or digitally
until the reset process is completed. After said reset, the POWER
POD
-400 will have
remembered all previously entered set-points but all channels are designed to come up
in the “Override-CLOSEd” condition. For meters, this should have no affect on their
behavior. All analog-only, THI, flow controllers with normally-closed (NC) valves will
close and remain closed until operator intervention manually returns selected channels’
Override condition back to the AUTO mode.
For all other controllers, this means that the control signal (pins 5 to 14) of J1 through
J4 will return to the previously set level. For controllers not taking advantage of the
Override function (pin 8), these controllers will return to their normal, preset operating
condition unless other intermediary steps are undertaken. Controllers that are making
use of the override function (Pin 8) and have normally-open valves will be driven to the
fully open condition.

7.0 Wiring
7.1. POWER
Power is supplied through a fused, AC jack on the rear panel (item 2).Use the power cord
supplied with the unit (PN15-17-011 for 115 VAC, 60Hz). See the following table for
selecting the proper fuse rating. Use a metric, 5 x 20 mm sized, time-delayed fuse.
Power Setting (50 – 60 Hz) Fuse Rating THI P/N
100 VAC 0.315 Amp/250 VAC 23-05-038
115 VAC 0.60 Amp/250 VAC 23-05-039
230 VAC 0.70 Amp/250 VAC 23-05-040
Cords without plugs are supplied with units shipped outside of the U.S. Consult and comply with any
local laws and/or codes when connecting to any AC main. The AC input is user selectable between 100,
115 or 230 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, via an AC selector switch next to the AC jack (Item 3).
WARNING: Be sure to set the power select switch prior to connecting to mains. Re-fuse the
connector according to the table above.
