    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 26: 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.

    The 40-566B is a matrix composed of several smaller matrices interconnected via a backplane. Each connection to the backplane has an isolation switch in order to maximize performance. The 40-566B is unusual in that additional matrix connections to each sub-matrix are made available on the front panel of each sub-matrix unit.

  • Page 43: Maintenance Information

    The Pickering Interfaces BIRST (Built-In Relay Self Test) Tool provides a simple means of testing selected Pickering Interfaces switching products, including this model. The tool can be used to find relay faults or to provide confirmation that a product is operating correctly, either as part of the regular system calibration or because a system fault is suspected and the switch system needs to be eliminated from the fault finding procedure.
  • Page 44 BIRST SOFTWARE The application program for BIRST is supplied with the support disc included when the product is shipped. Alternatively the program can be downloaded from Pickering Interfaces web site: www.pickeringtest.info/downloads/BIRST/ Warning: The BIRST facility requires that the UUT is disconnected from the products front panel connector(s).

  • Page 45: Relay Look-Up Tables

    Replacement of relays should only be carried out by qualified personnel using the correct equipment. If qualified personnel are not available, or the location of a defective relay cannot be positively determined it is recommended that the module is returned to Pickering Interfaces or a replacement daughter card is ordered.
