protection will be triggered if the voltage measured between the device HI and LO
terminals exceeds ±(42 Vpk ±0.4 V).

Caution

 

Do not apply voltage to the safety interlock connector inputs. The

interlock connector is designed to accept passive, normally open contact closure
connections only.

To ensure a system containing the PXIe-4135 is safe for operators, components, or conductors,
take the following safety precautions:

Ensure proper warnings and signage exist for workers in the area of operation.

Provide training to all system operators so that they understand the potential hazards and
how to protect themselves.

Inspect connectors, cables, switches, and any test probes for any wear or cracking before
each use.

Before touching any of the connections to the high terminal or high sense on the
PXIe-4135, discharge all components connected to the measurement path. Verify with a
DMM before interaction with connections.

Installing the PXIe-4135

Caution

 

To prevent damage to the PXIe-4135 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

1.

Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.

2.

Power off the chassis.

3.

Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4.

Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.

5.

Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.
