    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION A functional block diagram for the 40-220A Breadboard Module is provided in Figure 2.3. The Module accepts +12V, -12V, +5V, +3.3V supplies from the PXI backplane via Compact PCI connector J1, these power rails are protected by fuses. The interface to the user test equipment is via the front panel mounted connector J2, the type of connector fitted to the module is determined by the part number suffix.

    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/LXI chassis. The module is designed for indoor use only. PREOPERATION CHECKS (UNPACKING) 1. Check the module for transport damage and report any damage immediately to Pickering Interfaces. Do not attempt to install the product if any damage is evident.

  • Page 22: Hardware Installation

    For a system comprising more than one chassis, turn ON the last chassis in the system followed by the penultimate, etc, and finally turn ON the external controller or chassis containing the system controller. 9. For Pickering Interfaces modular LXI installation there is no requirement to use any particular power up sequence.

    PCB layout diagrams to identify the position of faulty relays. If the module fails it is recommended that it is returned to Pickering Interfaces to repair. While Pickering Interfaces will do its its best to preserve the user circuits installed on the module we cannot guarantee to repair the modules without impacting the user parts, and we reserve the right to replace the module with a new one which does not contain the user circuits in the event that a fault is impossible to diagnose or uneconomic to repair.
