    Modular products require installation in a suitable PXI/PXIe/LXI chassis. The module is 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.

    MODULE ARCHITECTURE - SPDT VERSION The 40/42-139A-201 is an array of 52 uncommitted SPDT relays. In the default state, all signal paths are between the C terminal and the corresponding B terminal. Energising a particular relay disconnects the B terminal and creates a signal path between the C and A terminals.

    MODULE ARCHITECTURE - DPDT VERSION The 40/42-139A-202 is an array of 26 uncommitted DPDT relays. In the default state, all signal paths are between the C terminal and the corresponding B terminal of each pole. Energising a particular relay disconnects the B terminal and creates a signal path between the C and A terminals of both poles.

    For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading.
