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 40-618A: SOURCE SWITCHING MODULE The 40-618A-021 Source Switching Module utilises an array of 92 changeover relays (Type 2 Form C) as single pole relays. Effectively 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 SECTION 4 - PROGRAMMING GUIDE pickering TABLE 4.1 - Multiplexer Module 40-618A: Sub-Units 40-618A Sub-Unit Cross Reference Bank Bank Function Function RL25 SPST RL49 SPST RL71 RL26 SPST RL50 SPST RL72 RL27 SPST RL51 SPST RL73 RL28 SPST RL52 SPST...

Page 29: 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 30 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering TABLE 7.1 - Source Switching Module 40-618A: Relay Numbering 40-618A Switch Function/Relay Cross Reference Bank Bank Function Function RL25 SPST RL49 SPST RL71 RL26 SPST RL50 SPST RL72 RL27 SPST RL51 SPST RL73 RL28...
