Performance verification
The following paragraphs discuss performance veri
Þ
-
cation procedures for the Model 7012, including path
resistance, offset current, contact potential, and isola-
tion.
With the Model 7012’s backplane jumpers installed, the
performance veri
Þ
cation procedures must be per-
formed with only one matrix card (the one being
checked) installed in the Model 7001 mainframe. These
conditions do not apply if the backplane jumpers are
removed.
CAUTION
Contamination will degrade the per-
formance of the matrix card. To avoid
contamination, always grasp the card
by the side edges. Do not touch the
connectors, and do not touch the
board surfaces or components. On
plugs and receptacles, do not touch
areas adjacent to the electrical con-
tacts.
NOTE
Failure of any performance veri
Þ
ca-
tion test may indicate that the matrix
card is contaminated. See paragraph
5.2 to clean the card.
5.3.1 Environmental conditions
All veri
Þ
cation measurements should be made at an
ambient temperature between 18
°
and 28
°
C, and at a
relative humidity of less than 70%.
5.3.2 Recommended equipment
