OPTIONS

Introduction

Option 02 provides r ear i nterface connections at the rear panel and Option 10 provides r ack mounting

capabilities . Informationi on Option 02 is found below as well as included n t he kit . Information on Option 10 is provided in Section 2 of this manual as well as with t he r ackmount k it available from Tektronix, Inc.

Option 02

This factory installed option adds 25-mil square pin connectors to the r ear of the interconnecting j acks at all pins from 14 Α and Β to pins 28Α and Β. This option also adds six bnc connectors and one 50-pin connectorto the rear panel. These connectors are not prewired in order to give as much flexibility as possible. Prepared jumpers, coaxial cables, and interconnection jack barriers are included in t he kit .

System Design Directions

1 . Plan the plug-in location i n t he mainframe based on operator convenience as well as interface connections.

2.Plan thewiring between interconnecting jacks andto the rear panel connectors before. starting assembly. Α m ating rear panel 50-pin connector and cover are provid- ed for external cabling.

ΝΟΤΕ

There are no pin assignme nts for the rear panel connecto rs, due to the great variety of possible co nnections.

When high frequency or fast digital signals are involved, plan the wiringto minimize crosstalk. Make allowance for possible auxiliary ground connec- tions.

The 50-pin rear panel co nnector may be easier to connect it ί1 is r emoved from the rear panel and remounted after connections are made. R emove the top rear cabinet piece for ease of access .

If more than 50 pins are needed, an AMP HD-22 series connector with 104 pins may be mounted in the same cut out. it is suggested that these parts be obtained directly fr om AMP Inc., Harrisburg, PA or their distributors. For further application informa- tion, contact Tektronix TM 500 Marketing Group.

3. Pin assignments for individual plug-ins will be found in t he appropriate instruction manual .

4. Install an interconnection jack barrier at the ap- propriate location on the interconnection jack. R efer to operating instructions for keying assignments for family functions.

5. Select and install the wires (hook-up or coaxial cable) following the guidelines in the Wire Use part of these instructions.

6. Wires or cables which may be at large potential differences should be dressed or bundled so as to avoid contact. Keep all interface wiring away from the power m odule primary line wiring .

Maximum input voltage is < 60 Vdc or < 42.4 Vdc peak-to- peak. Limit input power to < 150 W per co nnection .

7.There is an empty cut out which will m ount the standard Ι EC digital interface connector. The connector is not supplied with t his option .

Wire Use

1.Hook up wire with square pin receptacles on both ends. These may be used for low frequency or do circuits where impedance levels and crosstalk are not α problem . The wire is supplied for connection between com- partments (adjacent or nonadjacent) or between α com- partment and t he rear panel. For connection to the r ear panel, cut to length t hen ti η and solder the end going to the rear panel connector.
