INTRODUCTION

Introduction

This installation guide covers all Aeroflex PXI 3000 Series modules.

It explains how to install driver software, and how to fit the module into the chassis.

PXI Studio is a supplied application that helps you to configure two or more modules to create test

instruments and run measurement utilities. Modules are formatted automatically to provide the

chosen measurement capabilities, and soft front panels create virtual instruments with familiar and

intuitive controls.

User manuals

There is a separate user manual for each of the 3010, 3020, 3030 and 3060 Series. Each manual

contains information about connecting and operating the modules, an explanation of the soft front

panel, driver functions, and a simple technical description. All the user manuals are included on

the PXI Modules CD-ROM, part no. 46886/028.

Declaration of Conformity

If you require a copy of the EC Declaration of Conformity for the PXI 3000 Series modules, please

refer to your local representative.

Toxic hazard

General conditions of use

This product is designed and tested to comply with the requirements of IEC/EN61010-1 ‘Safety

requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use’, for Class III

equipment and is for use in a pollution degree 2 environment. The equipment is designed to

operate from an installation category I supply.

Equipment should be protected from the ingress of liquids and precipitation such as rain, snow,

etc. When moving the equipment from a cold to a hot environment, it is important to allow the

temperature of the equipment to stabilize before it is connected to the supply to avoid condensation

forming. The equipment must only be operated within the environmental conditions specified in

the data sheet, otherwise the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

This product is not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres or medical applications. If the

equipment is to be used in a safety-related application, e.g. avionics or military applications, the

suitability of the product must be assessed and approved for use by a competent person.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Electrical hazards (DC supply voltage)

This equipment conforms with IEC safety Class III, meaning that for continued safety it must only

be connected to supplies and signal sources which conform to ‘Separated Extra-Low Voltage’

(SELV and SELV-E) voltage and insulation requirements. No hazardous voltages are generated

internally. See the data sheet for the maximum permitted voltage levels that can be applied.

Do not remove instrument covers as this may result in personal injury. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside.

Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. See list of Service Centers at rear of manual.

WARNING

Toxic hazards

Some of the components used in this equipment may include resins and other materials which give

off toxic fumes if incinerated. Take appropriate precautions, therefore, in the disposal of these

items.

WARNING

Beryllium copper

It is possible that some mechanical components within this instrument may be manufactured from

beryllium copper. This is an alloy with a beryllium content of approximately 5%. It represents no

risk in normal use.

The material should not be machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.

It must be disposed of as “special waste”.

It must NOT be disposed of by incineration.

WARNING

Hot surfaces

Take care when touching a module which has run for a prolonged period; the surface temperature

can become high.

WARNING

Short circuited/bent pins in chassis

Before installing the module into the chassis, check inside the chassis that no foreign conductors

are present between pins on the backplane connectors and that no pins on the backplane connectors

are bent or damaged.

Static sensitive components

This equipment contains static sensitive components which may be damaged by handling.

PRECAUTIONS

vii

Suitability for use

This equipment has been designed and manufactured by Aeroflex to generate low-power RF

signals for testing radio communications apparatus and to digitize and provide spectrum analysis

of RF signals.

If the equipment is not used in a manner specified by Aeroflex, the protection provided by the

equipment may be impaired.

Aeroflex has no control over the use of this equipment and cannot be held responsible for events

arising from its use other than for its intended purpose.

Conditions générales d’utilisation

Ce produit a été conçu et testé pour être conforme aux exigences des normes CEI/EN61010-1

“Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire”, pour

des équipements Classe III et pour une utilisation dans un environnement de pollution de niveau 2.

Cet équipement est conçu pour fonctionner à partir d’une alimentation de catégorie I.

Cet équipement doit être protégé de l’introduction de liquides ainsi que des précipitations d’eau, de

neige, etc... Lorsqu’on transporte cet équipement d’un environnement chaud vers un

environnement froid, il est important de laisser l’équipement se stabiliser en température avant de

le connecter à une alimentation afin d’éviter toute formation de condensation. L'appareil doit être

utilisé uniquement dans le cadre des conditions d'environnement spécifiées dans la fiche technique,

toute autre utilisation peut endommager les systèmes de protection.

Ce produit n’est pas garanti pour fonctionner dans des atmosphères dangereuses ou pour un usage

médical. Si l'équipement doit être utilisé pour des applications en relation avec la sécurité, par

exemple des applications militaires ou aéronautiques, la compatibilité du produit doit être établie et

approuvée par une personne compétente.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Sécurité électrique (tension d’alimentation continue)

Cet équipement est conforme aux normes de sécurité CEI Classe III, c’est-à-dire qu’il ne doit être

connecté qu’à des sources d’alimentation ou de signaux qui suivent les recommandations de

tension et d’isolement du type ‘Tension extra-faible séparée’ (SELV at SELV-E). Aucune tension

dangereuse n’est générée en interne. La fiche technique précise les niveaux de tension maximum

acceptables en entrée.

Ne démontez pas le capot de l'instrument, car ceci peut provoquer des blessures. Il n'y a pas de

pièces remplaçables par l'utilisateur à l'intérieur.

Faites effectuer toute réparation par du personnel qualifié. Contacter un des Centres de

Maintenance Internationaux dans la liste jointe à la fin du manuel.

WARNING

Certains composants utilisés dans cet appareil peuvent contenir des résines et d'autres matières qui

dégagent des fumées toxiques lors de leur incinération. Les précautions d'usages doivent donc être

prises lorsqu'on se débarrasse de ce type de composant.

WARNING

Bronze au béryllium

Il est possible que dans cet équipement,certaines pièces mécaniques sont à base de bronze au

béryllium. Il s'agit d'un alliage dans lequel le pourcentage de béryllium ne dépasse pas 5%. Il ne

présente aucun danger en utilisation normale.

Toutefois, cet alliage ne doit pas être travaillé, soudé ou soumis à un processus qui implique

l'utilisation d'une source de chaleur.

En cas de destruction, il sera entreposé dans un container spécial. IL ne devra pas être détruit par

incinération.

WARNING

Surfaces chaudes

Faites attention en touchant un module qui a fonctionné pendant une période prolongée; la

température de surface peut devenir haute.

WARNING

Court circuit / broches tordues dans le châssis

Avant d'installer le module dans le châssis, vérifiez l'intérieur du châssis qu'aucun des conducteurs

étrangers ne sont présents entre les broches sur les connecteurs de fond de panier et qu'aucune

broches sur les connecteurs de fond de panier ne sont tordues ou endommagées.

PRECAUTIONS

Utilisation

Cet équipement a été conçu et fabriqué par Aeroflex pour générer des signaux RF de faible

puissance pour le test d'appareils de radio communications et numériser et analyser le spectre de

signaux RF.
