Page 17: Installation
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. -

Page 22: Module Architecture
MODULE ARCHITECTURE 40-617A: MULTIPLEXER MODULE The 40-617A-021 Multiplexer Module utilises an effective array of 89 SPST relays. In addition 12 uncommitted SPST relays are fitted. In the default state all relays are open circuit. Energising a particular relay creates a signal path between the common terminal and the corresponding channel terminal(s). - Page 23 RL31 Bank 13 Isolation RL67 RL32 Bank 14 Isolation RL68 RL33 Bank 15 Isolation RL69 RL34 Bank 16 Isolation RL70 RL35 Bank 17 Isolation RL71 RL36 Bank 18 Isolation RL72 18 BANK, 3 CHANNEL, 1-POLE MULTIPLEXER MODULE 40-617A Page 4.3...

Page 31: Maintenance Information
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. - Page 32 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering TABLE 7.1 - Multiplexer Module 40-617A: Relay Numbering 40-617A Switch Function/Relay Cross Reference Relay Relay Relay Switch Function Switch Function Switch Function Number Number Number Bank 1 Chan 1 Bank 13 Chan 1 RL37...
