3. Mounting and Connecting SLICE Hardware
This section gives details on how to connect your SLICE hardware. Choose the connection
method you have from the options below for the quickest information.
3.1. General Connection Guidelines
Great care should always be taken when connecting any power, switch, sensor or any
other device to the SLICE system.
• DO NOT exceed the rated voltage input range for the device. Whenever
possible use the power supply or battery pack supplied with your SLICE system.
• DO NOT connect directly to vehicle power or other noisy power sources.
• ALWAYS disconnect the battery from the SLICE system before connecting to a
battery charger.
• ALWAYS use SLICE NANO with a heat sink as the SLICE NANO case is very thin
aluminum with very little heat sinking ability. Never use SLICE NANO mounted
to a thermally non-conductive surface like wood or plastic.
• Refer to proper grounding procedures described in Appendix E.
• Check that all cables show no signs of physical damage.
• Be sure all sensors have their cable shields ungrounded at the sensor end and
grounded at the SLICE input connector. (SLICE DAS units have grounded
enclosures. Sensors should be floating.)
3.2. Guidelines for High Shock and Vibration Testing
SLICE MICRO and SLICE NANO components can generally be used in test environ-
ments with maximum acceleration levels as high as 500 g. If you have purchased a
specialized high g SLICE NANO system, it can be used in environments up to 5,000 g if
proper care is taken. Please contact DTS if you have any questions about using SLICE
in high g environments.
Proper mounting of the SLICE system, cables, and accessories is critical to successful
testing.
• DO NOT mount SLICE components in an area where they may be directly
impacted by an object.
• Use damping material whenever possible to help protect the SLICE system
from excessive shock or vibration, but remember that SLICE NANO requires a
heat sink.
• Be sure that connectors and wiring are properly secured.
