    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 18: 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.

    SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40-661 module is an array of up to 32 SPST relays factory wired to be one of eight different multiplexer configurations. In the default state, all multiplexer channels are open circuit. Energising a particular channel creates a signal path between the common terminal and the corresponding channel terminal.
