Remote Control and Feedback
Two 9 pin female D-subminiature connector on the K-8xx series are used for connecting to the control
and status feedback. The
K-4xx
series
has only one 9 pin d-subminiature connector and is supplied
with a cable for controlling it with one of Dataprobe’s xPal- 4xx series power switches. This cable
enables xPal-4xx unit to expand from 4 controlled outlets to 8.
The wiring for the control port is identical on all units. The K-4xx series only uses Control and
Feedback #s 1 – 4 See Wiring detail below. . If your controller does not use this cable, you will need
to build one or order an additional cable from Dataprobe. Refer to the control wiring details below for
cable specification.
The K-815 is factory wired to normally provide power to all the outlets. This is the default condition.
When the control cable removed, all outlets will be power On. The cable is designed to turn power
OFF when a contact closure is made by the relay in the controlling device on the appropriate pins of
the control cable.
A positive feedback system is provided to insure that power control commands are achieved. A
feedback circuit for each outlet provides a Low (ground) condition to indicate that power is On. An
Open condition indicates power Off.
