6.2 Installation of the R&S TS-PSM3
6.2.1 Installation of the R&S TS-PSM3 in the R&S TS-PCA3 Com-
pactTSVP
For installation in the R&S TS-PCA3 CompactTSVP slots 4\5 to 15\16 are allowed,
although in most cases it only makes sense to operate in slots 15\16. In slots 4\5 to
13\14 the R&S TS-PSM3 can only be operated if a R&S TS-PRIO or R&S TS-PRIO4
module is present on the corresponding rear slot of the TSVP with version 4.0 of the
backplane. This is the only way that the R&S TS-PSM3 can be connected to the nec-
essary power supply in these slots. In the CompactTSVP it is not possible to use the
R&S TS-PRIO3 in a rear slot.
In slots 15\16 of the R&S TS-PCA3 CompactTSVP the voltage supply of the R&S TS-
PSM3 is guaranteed even without R&S TS-PRIO(4) module via the X20 connector. In
these slots all low power and high power channels 9 to 14 can be run via the optional
R&S TS-PK04 cable set even to the rear of the R&S TS-PCA3 CompactTSVP to con-
nectors X3 and X4.
To install plug-in module High-Power Switch Module R&S TS-PSM3 , proceed as fol-
lows:
●
Shut down and switch off the R&S TS-PCA3 CompactTSVP.
●
Select an appropriate front slot. The R&S TS-PSM3 requires two slots.
See also 'CompactTSVP operating manual', 'Permissible module configurations'
section.
●
Removing the corresponding front plate section on the CompactTSVP housing by
undoing the screws.
●
Inserting the R&S TS-PSM3 with moderate pressure.
●
The top pilot pin of the R&S TS-PSM3 must be guided into the right-hand hole, the
bottom one into the left-hand hole on the CompactTSVP housing.
●
The R&S TS-PSM3 is correctly inserted if a definite stop can be felt.
●
Tighten the screws on the top and bottom of the front plate of theR&S TS-PSM3.
Damaged backplane due to bent pins
Bent pins may result in permanent damage to the backplane.
Check the backplane connector for bent pins!
Any pins that are bent must be straightened!
When module is connected, it must be guided with both hands and carefully pressed
into the backplane connector.
