Astronics Test Systems Inc. Racal Instruments™ 1260-136B/C/D High-Voltage Multiplexer Plug-In The Racal Instruments™ 1260-136 series plug-ins are high-voltage relay multiplexers for the Adapt-a-Switch™ platform. These quickly and easily plug into the front of an Adapt-a-Switch™ Carrier 1260-100. Key Features • Ideal for hipot and cable breakdown testing • Ideal for switching source-measure units and high-voltage power supplies in an ATE system • High density - up to 1x42 on a single plug-in • Software configurable switch modes simplify test development • Three relay versions available to support a wide range of requirements • Plug-in design for rapid expansion and replacement Product Information Each 1260-136 series plug-in can be configured via standard program control into any of the following configurations: • single 1x21 two-wire multiplexer • single 1x42 one-wire multiplexer • two 1x21 one-wire multiplexer 1260-136 plug-ins can be used for distri bution applications in which any combination of relays per multiplexer are closed at a time, or in classical scanner applications in which only one relay per multiplexer may be closed. When used as a scanner, the 1260 series “exclude” feature will automatically open the last connection when a new connection is programmed. This reduces the number of commands sent to the switch, thereby reducing test time. Make-before-break or break-before-make can also be programmed. Three different versions of this plug-in are available to support a range of high voltage switching requirements. Each version uses a different high voltage relay. Basic “hot-switching” specifications of these plug-ins are as follows: • 1260-136B, 500 V, Reed Relay • 1260-136C, 1 kV, Reed Relay • 1260-136D, 500 V, Mercury Wetted Reed Relay The 1260-136D must be oriented vertically to operate properly. This is the normal position for installations using a 13-slot VXI chassis and Adapt-a-Switch™ carrier. The 1260-136B and C versions are not position sensitive; they will operate properly in installations oriented in any direction. A Racal Instruments™ Option 01T is required to communicate with 1260 series modules, and provides message-based operation for ease of use and register-based operation for maximum speed. The Option 01T provides a single point of software control for the switching system with advanced features such as include, exclude, scan, relay monitoring, user defined path names, and reset states. The 1260 series line includes VXIplug&play support for frameworks based on Microsoft Win32® application programming interface, including drivers for LabWindows™/CVI and LabVIEW™. 949.859.8999; 800.722.2528; atssales@astronics.com; www.astronicstestsystems.com Copyright © 2014 Astr
