External Power
The ADS
®
TRITON+
™
(model 8000-FST-IM-EP-GL) can receive
power from an external DC power source. However, any
connection of external power to the monitor must occur through a
external power and communication unit (ExPAC, ADS p/n 3800-
0377), an external Modbus interface unit (XBUS
™
, ADS p/n 8000-
0427), or an external input/output unit (XIO
™
, ADS p/n 800-0400)
for compliance with IS certification.
Note: When installing an ExPAC, XBUS, or XIO, ADS
recommends locating the unit in close proximity to the DC
power source to maximize the net power available to the
unit.
Note: The externally-powered TRITON+, ExPAC,
XBUS, and XIO are not equipped with backup power.
Therefore, in the event of an interruption or loss of power
at the power source, the monitor will discontinue taking
readings until power is restored. However, a loss of power
will not result in a loss of data. The monitor will retain all
stored data in memory.
