*** Ethernet Controllers are considered modules for the purposes of power calculations. SLICE PRO LAB systems do not contain internal batteries and must be connected to external power at all times (15 VDC nominal; 9-15 V range at 40 W).
The SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller contains an isolated, ESD-protected, contact-closure event input. The event input is available through both of the 19-pin COM connectors. SLICE PRO LAB also includes a dedicated event input connector. This input provides a way to use a contact-closure switch in harsh or noisy environments without negatively affecting the data acquisition system.
Connected to external power and unit has fully charged Battery low Connected to external power; power fault SLICE PRO LAB systems do not contain internal batteries and must be connected to external power at all times. support.dtsweb.com 13000-30610-MAN (Rev. 5)
Crashworthy SLICE PRO equipment should be grounded to each other and bolted to the test vehicle. SLICE PRO LAB modules should be bolted to the rack and the rack properly grounded. DTS recommends checking continuity between the enclosures of each unit to confirm resistance readings of <1 ohm.

SLICE PRO Ethernet Controller User’s Manual May 2019 Status Output Signal The status output signal is available for use as an indicator of system status. A typical application would be in an environment where operators may be a substantial distance away from the test equipment, in a control room or other remote location, and desire confirmation from the system that it is armed and healthy prior to testing.
