96-way connector block, type R
V42254-B1240-R960 (WireWrap pins)
Other suppliers include Harting (shells and connectors), Erni and Panduit (connectors
only).
With adapters, remember that the count sequence at connectors P1 and P20 on the
back of the cPCI backplane is the mirror image of the front.
The plug-in modules used in the R&S TS-PCA3 are described in separate documents.

Configuration Instructions
●
When mixing short and long modules, if possible the shorter ones should be con-
figured in the vicinity of the controller and the longer ones further to the right
●
Care must be taken to observe EMC regulations. Sufficient shielding can only be
achieved with sectional front plates and shield springs on the inner and outer fas-
tening level. The two levels can be connected with option R&S TS-PSK1 (HF
shield wall kit). One slot is lost in this process.
●
If long cards are plugged in next to short ones, care must be taken to ensure the
sectional front plate of the short card cannot touch the lines of the adjacent module
(risk of short circuit).
●
The in-circuit measuring unit, consisting of R&S TS-PSAM and TS-PICT, should
preferably be connected to slots 8 and 9. This is the only way to achieve even resi-
dues.
●
To achieve even dissipation of heat, modules with R&S TS-PDC should not be fit-
ted immediately next to each other if possible. This makes it easier to cool the R&S
TS-PDCs, which can become quite hot. The optionally available rear I/O fan unit
R&S TS-RFAN provides for enhanced cooling of the R&S TS-PDC and is required
especially when the installation position is not horizontal.
●
R&S TS-PSM1, R&S TS-PSM3, R&S TS-PSM4, and R&S TS-PSM5 should be
connected to slot 16 so that signals from the power plug can be better directed to
the back.
For this purpose, the optional cabling kit R&S TS-PK04 (No. 1157.9104.02) can be
used.
If an additional R&S TS-PSM1 or R&S TS-PSM4 is required, it should be connec-
ted to slot 15.
For more details, refer to the documentation of the individual modules.
