    PCB layout diagrams to identify the position of faulty relays. 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 46 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 47: 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.

    CARD REMOVAL FROM BRIC The following procedure should be followed for the extraction of a relay daughter card from the 40-574 BRIC module. The card extraction handle supplied with the module is required for this process. It should be noted that individual relay cards can be removed from the BRIC sub-chassis without removing the entire BRIC from the host chassis.
