Beginning with revision 02, the Multimode PDU supports special purpose modes M
ODE 
A and M
ODE 
B in addition to the LO
C
URRENT
 and HI
C
URRENT
 modes, which are supported by all revisions. 
M
ODE 
A and M
ODE 
B are intended for use in specific site configurations not described herein. The 
user will need additional information if using M
ODE 
A and M
ODE 
B in these intended configurations. 
Included here is a full description of Mode A and Mode B operation as it applies to the Multimode 
PDU.

To select M
ODE 
A, position two shunting blocks as shown in Figure C-1. Only one shunting block is 
included with the PDU. A second block can be obtained from another PDU operating in M
ODE 
B, or 
ordered separately. To select M
ODE 
B, remove shunting blocks from the Alarm Range Selector.

The normal and short circuit current ranges apply as shown in the table. In M
ODE 
B, different normal 
current ranges apply to outputs 1-3 and to outputs 4-6.

A fault condition must persist for 60 s before the associated TMA Alarm LED turns R
ED
 and the 
Alarm Interface goes into the A
LARM
 state.
