MODEL 4391A

Our interface units (IEEE-488 shown above or RS-232) let
you remotely control a POWER ANALYST

®

Wattmeter’s

functions. Either interface requires a 15-pin connector on
the rear of any Model 4380/4390 Series wattmeter. The
connector and internal cabling are installed in a new

Model 4391A POWER ANALYST

®

, or in older wattmeters

having the suffix -832 in the Model number (e.g. Model
4391-832). Any 4380/4390 Series Wattmeter you already
own without this connector can be retrofitted at our plant.
