Safety Summary Page 6

1. Safety Summary

1.1. Definitions

The following definitions apply to WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES found throughout this manual.

WARNING: An operating or maintenance procedure, practice, statement, condition, etc., which, if not strictly

observed, could result in injury and/or death of personnel. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until all

the indicated conditions have been fully understood and/or met.

CAUTION: An operating or maintenance procedure, practice, statement, condition, etc., which, if not strictly

observed, could result in damage or destruction of the equipment or long-term health hazards to personnel. Do

not proceed beyond a CAUTION symbol until all the indicated conditions have been fully understood and/or met.

NOTICE: An essential operating or maintenance procedure, condition, or statement that must be highlighted.

1.2. General Precautions

The following are general precautions that are not related to any specific procedure and, therefore, do not appear

elsewhere in this publication. These are precautions that personnel must understand and apply during various

phases of instrument operation or service.

Potentially lethal voltages are present in this instrument. Serious shock hazards from voltages

above 70 volts may exist in any connector, chassis, or circuit board. Observe the following

precautions.

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must be connected to an electrical ground.

Using the supplied three-conductor power cable ensures that the instrument can be firmly

connected to the ac power source and electrical ground at a grounded power outlet. If using a 3-2

wire adapter be sure to connect the ground lead to earth ground.

Use the buddy system any time work involving active high voltage components is required. Turn OFF the power

before making/breaking any electrical connection. Regard any exposed connector, terminal board, or circuit board

as a possible shock hazard. DO NOT replace any component or module with power applied.

If test conditions to live equipment are required, ground the test equipment before probing the voltage or signal

to be tested.

MANUAL IM635

Safety Summary Page 7

Personnel working with or near high voltage should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

DO NOT wear jewelry (rings, bracelets, metal watches, and/or neck chains) while working on exposed

equipment. Be very cautious about using hand tools near exposed backplanes, bus bars, and/or power supply

terminals. Use properly insulated tools. When making test connections to the power supply terminals and bus

bars, use only insulated probe tips.

Verify that the instrument is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.

DO NOT install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to this instrument. Contact Weinschel to

acquire any information on replacement parts or returning the instrument for repair. Unauthorized modification

can cause injury to personnel and/or destruction of the instrument.

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement or adjustments must be

performed by qualified service personnel.

DO NOT operate the instrument near or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

1.3. Detailed Precautions

The following WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES appear throughout the text of this manual and are repeated

here for emphasis.

All procedures and/or steps identified as must be followed exactly as written and according to

industry accepted ESDS device handling procedures. Failure to comply WILL result in ESD

damage.

DO NOT use a nylon bristle brush in any solvent as the bristles may dissolve and cause damage to the

circuit card or component.

DO NOT use ultrasonic cleaning on parts or assemblies containing electrical or electronic components.

DO NOT bend pins of electrical connectors when using fiber-bristle brush.

Compressed air used for cleaning and/or drying can create airborne particles that may enter the eye.

Goggles/face shields should be worn. DO NOT direct air stream towards self or other personnel. Pressure should

be restricted to a maximum of 15 psi to avoid personal injury.

Under no circumstances should a wire brush, steel wool, or abrasive compound be used on any surface. Using

these items will cause extensive damage to the instrument's surface.

DO NOT return any instrument or component to Weinschel without receiving prior factory

authorization.

1.4. Safety Symbols

The following symbols are used to identify safety hazards found throughout this publication and/or located on the

instrument.

MANUAL IM635

Safety Summary Page 8

1.5. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive

The equipment documented in this manual contains certain Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) components

or parts. Therefore, certain procedures/steps are identified by the use of the symbol . This symbol is used in

two ways:

•When the ESDS symbol is placed between a paragraph and title, that paragraph, including all

subparagraphs, is considered ESDS device handling procedure.

• When the ESDS symbol is placed between a procedure/step number and the text, all of that

procedure is considered an ESDS device handling procedure.

All procedures and/or steps identified as ESDS must be followed exactly as written and according to accepted

ESDS device handling procedures. Failure to comply WILL RESULT in ESDS damage.

2.3. Equipment Overview

Weinschel 8512 Series Programmable Switch Units represent a new streamlined approach in programmable

switches for bench test and subsystem applications. Standard 8512 Series designs house and control up to 14

failsafe or latching electromechanical switches via front panel controls, Ethernet, USB and Serial communications

interfaces. A GPIB (IEEE-488) interface is also available as an option. It can be configured in a single input multi-

channel configuration or can be configured for up to 14 channels each, SP6T switches interconnected externally

in a variety of matrix arrangements.

Applications for the Model 8512 Series include:

1. Remote control of up to 14 switches through a single connection

2. Can be configured into multiple full blocking matrices using external coaxial cables, up to a 6 x 6 matrix.

3. Can be configured as a single pole, multi throw switch, up to SP66T.

4. Failsafe and latching options allow for non-contiguous or high power applications, respectively.

Figure 1 below shows the functional block diagram of the module.

3.1. Rack Mounting

The Model 8512 Series can be mounted in any rack or cabinet that conforms to EIA RS-310 or MIL-STD-189.

3.2. Initial Setup

The following initial setup procedures should be performed prior to operating the Model 8512.

1. Perform an initial inspection of the unit.

2. Verify the AC power connection is configured to the correct voltage for your region.
