2.0 Safety Read this manual in its entirety before operating the POWERPOD-400 Power Supply/Totalizer. The POWER POD-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 POD-400.
3.0 Features The POWER POD-400 serves as a convenient control center that can be rack-mounted using standard halfrack hardware or can be used as a bench top unit. The POWER POD-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.
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.

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.
10.9. SERIAL COMMUNICATION Follow the instructions in the section, WIRING THE POWERPOD-400 for cabling and proper pin out for serial communication with the unit. After insuring that the POWER POD-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 POD-400 can be divided into two different types. They differ only in that they 1. Write a command only or 2. Write a command and read a response.
To query the status of the totalizer flag on channel four (4), use the following command. TF4Cr The response will be either TF4 0 corresponding to a Boolean ‘FALSE’ indication that the totalizer flag has not been set, or TF4 1, a Boolean ‘TRUE’, indicating that the total is equal to or beyond the totalizer set point.. D41Cr command tells channel four (4) to display the TOTAL. It is not necessary that the front panel read the total for the TOTALIZER to work.

14.0 Appendix D Setting the Zero & Span on the Pod Power -400 Power Supply/Totalizer All procedures outlined in this document must be performed with the power supply turned on and warmed up for at least one hour. All procedures outlined in this document must be performed with NO transducers connected to the channel being adjusted*. You CANNOT successfully zero a channel without, first, supplying zero volts or four milliamps to the meter input for that channel.
14.2 Zeroing Unit (4 to 20 mA Range) The following instructions explain how to use the POWERPOD -400 command signal to supply 4mAmp signal to a channel’s input and set the display to read zero at this current level. Disconnect all connectors from the channel to be calibrated. Insure that the channel is set to read 4 to 20 mA signals by performing the following steps. Press MODE Press 3 Press ENTER Press 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on which channel is to be zeroed.
14.3 Spanning Unit. The following instructions explain how to use the POWERPOD -400 command signal to supply a given channel’s input with the proper span voltage and to set the display to read a transducer’s span value. You must know four things prior to setting the display’s span value: 1. You must know the maximum signal level for the specific transducer connected to the channel to be spanned (5 VDC, 10VDC or 20mA). 2.
