  • Page 17: Installation

    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.

    SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering MODULE ARCHITECTURE The 40/42-203-002 Fault Insertion Switch has six differential channels and two fault buses. Each signal path has its own through relay and switched connections to two fault buses which can be used to introduce fault conditions. The 40/42-203-001 has the same architecture but only three differential channels.
