  • Page 10: Connections

    1 PPS input signals may be present. The factory standard PDU-240 configuration is a logic HI signal on the ALARM IN pin indicating that the input is GOOD. A built in pull-up resistor ensures that if no ALARM IN connection is made the reference is considered good.
  • Page 11: Operation

    Refer to Figure 1 for a guide of the front panel controls and indicators. Powering the PDU-240 Once all connections to the PDU-240 have been made, apply power to the unit by placing the on/off switch to the on position. The on/off switch is located on the rear panel power entry module.
