    Unused slots in the System 10/20 chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

  • Page 15: Installation

    The module is designed for indoor use only. PRE-OPERATION 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. 2. Position the chassis relative to any other equipment the module(s) will connect with. Ensure the chassis is not connected to the electrical supply.
  • Page 16 (See the Pickering 10-910M IEEE-488 GPIB System 10/20 Ancillaries manual for further details). (When fitted, additional modules will be automatically recognised by the interface card. See Figure 3.1). 4. If necessary fit the module guide rails as supplied with the module to both the top and bottom of the chassis in that slot position.

    Reconfiguring the Driver Card to Your Application Your multiplexer driver card will leave the factory preconfigured, so take great care if you wish to change any of the settings. If in doubt contact Pickering for further details. Universal Driver Card: Configuration Links There are four choices of relay settling time, this is to allow for different applications and relay types (e.g.
