Introduction
Supplying primary or back-up power, the POWER PRO seamlessly integrates with all TDAS PRO, TDAS G5 and SLICE
data acquisition products. The crashworthy POWER PRO features standard connectors and 18–36 V input power.
The POWER PRO provides direct and integrated back-up power to support DTS systems for up to 1 hour or more,
depending on the load. When used with a 10–36 VDC TDAS PLUS Mini Distributor, the power, communication, and
control signals are distributed to SLICE & TDAS systems, including DTS in-dummy DAS. The POWER PRO includes
comprehensive protection for overcurrent, undervoltage, overvoltage, and excess temperature conditions.
This manual supports POWER PRO part number 10400-00210.

Auxiliary Port
The 12 V, 1 A auxiliary connector can be used to power an external device such as a TDAS PLUS Wireless Ethernet
device (DTS P/N 10300-01050).
Additional auxiliary signals are available on either of the 19-pin COM connectors. See Pin Assignments and Suggested
Connector Sources for more information. These signals are:
•Start record input (optically-coupled 0–5 V signal)
•Status output (0–5 V, 20 mA output max)
Start Record Input
Use the Start Record input (used only in Recorder mode) to send a signal to the system to begin recording data
independent of any event signal. Enter the recording time via the software. Once the system receives the start record
signal, data is recorded for the length of time specified. (An event signal can be used separately to facilitate post-
processing of the data.) Carefully specify the recording parameters to be sure you capture the desired event within the
data window. (See your software manual for additional information.) Please contact DTS for additional information on
how this may be useful in your application.
Status Output Signal
The Status Output signal is available for use as an indicator of system status. A typical application would be in an
environment where operators may be a substantial distance away from the test equipment, in a control room, or other
remote location, and need confirmation from the system that it is armed and healthy prior to testing. The next section
describes this function.
Status Output Functional Description
When the system is not armed, the status output is always low (near 0 V), regardless of signals on the event input.
The status output will be high (near 5 V) ONLY when all of the following conditions are met:
•The unit is armed, AND
•The unit is ready to record data (is in Circular Buffer mode, or has received a start signal in Recorder mode), AND
•The unit had not received an event signal, AND
•The unit’s power status is within acceptable levels.

Introduction •Specifications •Using the POWER PRO •DataPRO Software Interface •Care & Handling •Connectors •Support
support.dtsweb.com 19 10400-00210-MAN (Rev. 0)
In Circular Buffer mode, the status output will go high as the system is armed. It will go low when the unit received an
event signal, any A/D circuit stops functioning, or if the system’s power is outside of acceptable limits.
In Recorder mode, the status output will remain low until the system is recording data. The status output will go high
when the unit receives a start record signal and all other diagnostic checks are within acceptable limits. It will go low
when the unit receives an event signal, the end of the recording time window is reached, any A/D circuit stops functioning,
or if the system’s power is outside of acceptable limits.
Communication Ports
The communication (COM) ports are functionally identical and are compatible with all SLICE PRO and TDAS COM
connectors.
The 19-pin COM connectors on the control panel allow access to two separate bidirectional Ethernet channels in the
device. These COM connectors are functionally identical so you may use either one to connect the communication and
trigger cables provided with your system. See Pin Assignments and Suggested Connector Sources for more information.
The POWER PRO COM A and COM B connectors provide for remote on/off control of the POWER PRO unit. (See
Connector Information for connector pin assignments.)
The POWER PRO COM A and COM B ports support the industry-standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT/Tx communication
method via an REC cable (P/N 10700-0015x) using either COM port. Communication is enabled after the initialization
sequence has completed (1–2 minutes). Refer to the User Manual for your equipment for the network parameters for that
equipment.
Warning
Do not apply external voltages to the event,
communication, status, or control output and
inputs –this could result in damage to the unit.
