6.1 Channel wiring of the R&S TS-PSM5B (variant 02)
In contrast to the completely cabled R&S TS-PSM5 (variant 03) with mounted VPC
connector, the R&S TS-PSM5B (variant 02) is supplied without channel wiring and with
simple front plate. In this version the user can himself carry out the wiring of the chan-
nels that he needs. For this purpose suitable wires are run from the terminals of the
individual channels on the module’s base board via the module’s front plate openings
outward to a load or power source.
To be able to reach all the terminals on the base board, the plate used for reinforcing
the module and the digital circuit board underneath it must be removed.
For this purpose the module must be placed on a non-slip surface. Care must be taken
that in doing so the components on the underneath of the module are not damaged.
The plate is unscrewed via three screws on the top of the module and two screws on
the front plate of the module. The digital circuit board is fixed to the module’s base
board by three screws. If these screws are undone the connection between digital cir-
cuit board and base board can be carefully disconnected.
When subsequently putting the module back together again it must be ensured that the
stabilising plate is also properly mounted again. Although this does not affect the func-
tioning of the module, it is mandatory in order to prevent the module from bending
when mounting it into the R&S TS-PCA3 or R&S TS-PWA3 chassis. This could lead to
the X1 and X2 high current connectors not sitting perfectly and an increased contact
resistance occurring to the rear-mounted R&S TS-PRIO5 or the R&S TS-PK04 cable
set.
