CAUTION:
The AC power conductors must be assembled to a certified plug assembly by a qualified technician. For
compliance to the safety and EMC specifications, the plug assembly must meet the requirements dictated within
this operations manual.
Appropriate airflow is required at both the inlet and exhaust vents of the Power System. Adequate open area
cross section to the Power System should be provided for room ambient air to the inlet and outlet of the Power
System. There should be no blockage of air around the fans and vented ends of the power supply. Fan guards
are recommended to protect the function of the external fans and to prevent dust accumulation. Fan guards are
recommended to be checked and cleaned occasionally to provide optimal air flow.

Conditions of Acceptability
CAUTION: When installed in an end-product, consideration must be given to the following:
• Appropriate airflow is required for this unit to operate correctly under normal and fault conditions. Suitable
spacing should be provided for the fans and vented ends to allow air flow in and out of the Power System.
When installing the Power System, the cubic area needed for air flow should be taken in consideration and
thermal testing must be performed as part of the end-product acceptance. There should be no barriers to the
fans and the vents of the Power System.
• Suitable fire enclosure must be provided as part of the end-use system investigation. The component shall be
installed in compliance with enclosure, mounting, packing, casualty and segregation requirements of end-use
system requirements.
• Leakage testing must be performed on end-use system.
• IEC 60601-1-4 not performed and must be considered for end-use system.
• Clause 15b limitation of Voltage and/or Energy must be performed on end-use system.
• The AC Line input cable and IEC connector are supplied by the user. Although not strictly required, it is strongly
recommended for additional protection that a fused IEC Input Module (or other external fuse arrangement) is
used with the Power System. The recommended fuse type is 10 A 250 VAC. Both Line and Neutral conductors
should be fused. The AC voltage input earth ground complies with bonding impedance requirements when it is
attached to a standard AC wall outlet. There is no required or provided earth ground bonding when the end-
use system is mobile.
• DC output short circuit and reverse polarity testing shall be considered on end use equipment.
• The DC voltage output cables are supplied by the user. The DC outputs from the Power System do not need to
be fused due to internal current limiting. If the user wishes to install fuse(s) for additional protection, fuse type
and sizing should be based on end-use requirements.
• The Battery Cable is supplied by the user. There is no requirement for fusing the Battery Cable since the Power
System includes a replaceable internal fuse. If external fusing is desired, careful consideration should be given
to fuse specifications for end-use requirements.
• Equipment has not been evaluated as AP/APG equipment. Must be considered as part of the end system
equipment.
• Component shall be properly bonded to the main protective earth termination in the end-use system and
comply with end-system bonding impedance requirements when it is attached to a standard AC wall outlet.
There is no required or provided earth ground bonding when the end-use system is mobile.
• Complies with requirements for US for outside the patient environment. For use within the patient
environment, evaluation must be performed as part of end system equipment.
This product contains electrical components. Observe local, state and federal guidelines for proper
disposal. The end product manufacturer should be contacted for procedures. For further information on

Application
The 400 Series DC Controller is a Medical Grade Power Management System designed for use with both Sealed Lead
Acid [SLA] Absorbent Glass Matt [AGM] and Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries in Mobile Point of Care [MPOC] products
for Hospitals and Long Term Health Care facilities. The product uses microprocessor based technology for intelligent
charging, reconditioning, state of charge monitoring and DC power control. It is designed, manufactured and certified
to EN 60601 Medical Safety Standards. There are two models in the 400 Series: Model 401 and Model 451. The Model
401 provides 19.5 V, 12 V, and 5 V DC outputs. The Model 451 provides the same DC outputs as the Model 401 but
also includes a 115 VAC output. The hybrid design of the Model 451 provides True Sine Wave AC output together with
multiple regulated DC outputs to power any combination of equipment, without the need for external converters. Both
models can be customized to user needs and other battery chemistries can be included with simple firmware upgrades.
Power
The 400 Series DC Controller uniquely combines the “By-Pass” feature of AC Systems with the high efficiency and
long run times of traditional DC Systems. It uses an automatic transfer of load to ensure smooth uninterrupted supply
switching from AC Wall power to DC Battery power.
The 400 Series DC Controller has the capability of powering multiple DC and AC devices (AC with Model 451 only) up to
a combined load of 200 watts while simultaneously charging the battery.
Charging
The 400 Series DC Controller is optimized for battery capacities in the range of 10 Ah to 100 Ah, and has the capability to
charge at up to 25 Amps. It uses an intelligent multi-stage charging algorithm to adhere to the battery manufacturer’s
specifications and maximize battery life while maintaining safe operating conditions. Presently there are numerous
preset charging profiles for both Lithium Iron Phosphate and Sealed Lead Acid batteries. Other battery chemistry
profiles may be added in the field with a simple firmware upgrade.
Monitoring
The system has an on-board microprocessor that monitors multiple sensors for use with the State of Charge [SOC]
predictions; DC voltage, DC current, ambient temperature, battery temperature, total charge, discharge amp hours since
activation and battery experience. A key monitoring feature is Event Logging which logs key information each time the
battery experiences a specific event. Using the power system’s memory, up to 2000 events can be logged and used for
diagnostics and maintenance scheduling. Using the host system’s memory, the total number of events is limited only by
the host system’s available storage capacity.
Buzzer
The buzzer is audible at a frequency of 2.4 kilohertz nominal at an audible intensity of typically 92 decibels at 10
centimeters. The buzzer may be enabled or disabled by the user. If disabled, the buzzer will not sound for ANY
circumstance. The buzzer, if enabled, will notify the user if the battery power goes below a pre-established state of
charge voltage threshold indicating an imminent need for charging and/or discontinuing computer usage.
Section 2: System Overview

Main User’s Interface
Communication/Software
Communication between the Power System and the User’s CPU is accomplished with a standard USB cable. Once
the Power System is recognized by the CPU, a device driver will be installed on the CPU allowing ports to open for
communication. The communication driver is included with the GUI software and will normally install automatically. In
the event that the device driver does not install correctly, please contact IT for further assistance.
The system communication software includes two user interfaces; the Main User’s interface and the Advanced
Functions interface. These interfaces are provided on the display on the host computer. The information provided in
these interfaces is ported to the host computer via a standard USB connection between the 400 Series Power Monitor
and the host computer.
The Main User interface can be resized using the standard window resizing feature.
If this display is terminated by selecting the “x” in the upper right hand corner; the software will continue to run. The
software logo icon is displayed in the notification area of the windows toolbar.
The 400 Series communicates with the host computer and provides a graphical interface to the user through the host
computer display. Although this communication provides useful and extensive features, it is technically optional as the
system will operate without this communication link. It is strongly advised, however, that these features and the link be
used to take full advantage of the capabilities of the system.
