    2.0 Safety Read this manual in its entirety before operating the POWER -400 Power Supply/Totalizer. The POWER -400 is designed to operate with most Teledyne Hastings Instruments (THI) flow controllers and meters. Read all wiring and power hookup instructions and understand the requirements prior to using another manufacturer’s products with the POWER -400.
  • Page 7: Features

    3.0 Features The POWER -400 serves as a convenient control center that can be rack-mounted using standard half- rack hardware or can be used as a bench top unit. The POWER -400 is equipped with a 4 X 20 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.
  • Page 8 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”...

    8.5. SETTING A CHANNEL TO AUTO CONTROL Press the desired CHANNEL # key. An asterisk appears in the first space on the line representing the selected channel. The meter display is immediately replaced with the current set point. Pressing the AUTO key causes pin number eight (8) of the 15 pin Sub-D connector to float and returns the previously programmed metering function to the display.
  • Page 17 Example (See Graph): A linear flow transducer with a DC output of 0 to 5 volts is calibrated for a maximum flow of 25 SLH. The transducer is connected to one channel of a POWER -400 which is CAL’d to read 25.000 at 5 volts input and has been programmed to display rate in SLH.

    10.3.2. Count Down from a Set Point The TOTALIZER will be set to count from a preset value to zero (0). When zero is reached, a memory flag will be set to its logic high state. This flag is readable only through serial communications.
  • Page 23: Selecting The Analog Signal Level

    The default address as programmed at the factory is 01. If a different address is required, it may be changed using either RS-232 or 485. After making the proper serial connections, use the command *00X to read the default address. Use *00Xdd, where dd = the new address. If the old address is known, use DDXdd, where DD is the old address and dd is the new address.
  • Page 24: Setting Limit Alarms

    10.6. SETTING LIMIT ALARMS Each channel of the POWER 400 has one high limit alarm and one low limit alarm. Each alarm is provided by an open-collector, opto-isolated signal at a corresponding pin on the rear panel, connector J8. Use the provided diagram when referring to the text below.
  • Page 25: Setting Ratio Control Parameters

    10.7. SETTING RATIO CONTROL PARAMETERS Enabling Ratio Control Ratio control is achieved through the SETUP/CAL menu. Ratio Control is activated by selecting channel number one (1) and enabling it as master. After enabling channel one, the operator may assign the channels that will follow its signal by some factor.
  • Page 26: Calibrating A Channel To Its Incoming Signals

    10.8. CALIBRATING A CHANNEL TO ITS INCOMING SIGNALS The POWER -400 is designed to accept the input from almost any transducer that operates in the ranges of zero to five volts, zero to ten volts or four to twenty milliamps. In most cases, transducers are capable of having their minimum signal and maximum signal adjusted to correspond with the minimum (ZERO) and maximum (SPAN) unit-of-measure that they are designed to reflect.

    signal is not an acceptable full range value, the operator has an opportunity to correct any problems at this stage prior to pressing ENTER. Alternatively, the operator can press ESC to exit SETUP/CAL and return later. See Appendix D. 10.8.3. Resetting Zero and Span Should it be required to zero and set a new span value for a given channel, The menu option is provided that will present the programmer with the zero menu first, followed by the span, or cal, menu.
  • Page 28: Serial Communication

    10.9. SERIAL COMMUNICATION Follow the instructions in the section, WIRING THE POWER -400 for cabling and proper pin out for serial communication with the unit. After insuring that the POWER -400 is wired properly, the unit must be set up following the instructions in the section entitled, External Communications Setup. The instruction set for the POWER -400 can be divided into two different types.
