  • Page 6 PXI-2566 Features Topologies PXI-2566 8-DPDT Topology Module software name: 2566/8-DPDT (NISWITCH_TOPOLOGY_2566_8_DPDT) Note Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high voltage transients in excess of the module's rated voltage. Without additional protection, these transients can interfere with module operation and impact relay life.

  • Page 11 Isopropyl alcohol ■ Cotton swabs ■ Note NI recommends using lead-free solder for relay replacement on lead-free assemblies, and lead solder for relay replacement on lead assemblies. Notice Do not rework lead assemblies using a lead-free work station. Lead solder from the unit could contaminate the station.
  • Page 12 PXI-2566 Features Note Older versions of this module might have adhesive plastic lead covers that you must remove. The module retains full specifications even if the covers are not reinstalled. 3. Locate the assembly and serial number labels on the board with the relay you want to replace.
  • Page 13 Do not use flux remover to clean the board after relay replacement. Use the NI-SWITCH Switch Soft Front Panel to reset the relay count after you have replaced a failed relay. Refer to the Switch Soft Front Panel Help for more information.
