External Power
An ADS TRITON+
®
(models 8000-FST-IM-EP-4WW-XXX)
supporting wireless communication can receive power from an
external DC power source. However, any connection of external
power to the monitor must occur through an 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.
