Unused slots in the host chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals. - Page 8 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK SP8T & SP16T RF Multiplexer Modules 40-756 Page (VIII)

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. -

Once the drivers are installed the manual “Sys40Prg.pdf” and driver help files which fully describes these functions can be found in the Pickering folder(s) or the Pickering entries on your Start Menu. The card must be opened before use and closed after using the following function calls: Direct I/O Driver - Open with PIL_OpenCards or PIL_OpenSpecifiedCard and close with PIL_CloseCards or PIL_CloseSpecifiedCards respectively. -

Page 33: 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 34 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering Table 7.1 - Relay Look-up Table For 40-756-121/321 Dual SP16T RF Multiplexer Module MUX Bank Signal Path Relays Energised COM1 to CH1 None COM1 to CH2 RL12 COM1 to CH3 RL11 COM1 to CH4...
