Page 9: Technical Specification
• 3 Year Warranty The world’s highest density 2-pole single slot 3U PXI Matrix Module, the 40-581 has 264 crosspoints configured as a 2-pole 33x8 matrix. The use of high density electro-mechanical relays means that the 40-581 is a low Choice of Signal Relay Types cost high density matrix solution with current handling up to 1 Amp. - Page 10 Ultra High Density 2-Pole Matrix - 40-581 Specific Matrix Configurations The 40-581 may be ordered partially populated to a specific matrix configuration. The diagrams show some example configurations. A module can be factory populated as required, and updates to increase capacity can be added at any time in the future (on a return to factory basis).

Page 19: 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 20: 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 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 - 40-581 Crosspoint/Relay Look-up Information Relay Relay Relay Relay ULTRA HIGH DENSITY 2-POLE MATRIX MODULE 40-581 Page 7.2...
