SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
!
GENERAL CLEANING
•
Isolate the electrical power from the chassis and ensure that no user I/O signals are being applied.
•
Wipe the product & chassis surfaces with a clean dry anti-static cloth only.
SOFTWARE UPDATE
For PXI modules operating in a PXI chassis, no module software updates are required. For the latest version
of the driver please refer to our web site pickering test .com where links to our Software Download page will
provide the latest version of the driver software for the various programming environments encountered.
For PXI modules which are supported in one of Pickering Interfaces’ Modular LXI Chassis (such as the 60-102B
and 60-103B) no module software update is required. If the module was introduced after the LXI chassis was
manufactured the module may not be recognized, in this case the chassis firmware may need upgrading. This
is a simple process which is described in the manual for the Modular LXI Chassis.
SWITCHING SYSTEM TEST TOOLS
USING BIRST
™ (
BUILT-IN RELAY SELF TEST
)
The Pickering Interfaces BIRST (Built-In Relay Self Test) Tool provides a simple means of testing selected
Pickering Interfaces switching products, including this model. The tool can be used to find relay faults or to provide
confirmation that a product is operating correctly, either as part of the regular system calibration or because a
system fault is suspected and the switch system needs to be eliminated from the fault finding procedure.
BIRST SOFTWARE
The application program for BIRST is supplied with the support disc included when the product is shipped.
Alternatively the program can be downloaded from Pickering Interfaces web site:
www.pickeringtest.info/downloads/BIRST/
Warning: The BIRST facility requires that the UUT is disconnected from the products front panel
connector(s). Failure to disconnect could result in either misleading results or damage to the BIRST
hardware within the product.
Please refer to the documentation accompanying the application for detailed usage / operation details.

USING eBIRST
We recommend the use of e BIRST to provide a check of the correct operation of relays and to identify the
location of any faulty relay. For more information on e BIRST click here .
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
This product and its corresponding chassis do not require any periodic maintenance.
RELAY LOOK-UP TABLES
The following pages provide a cross reference between the signal paths of the product and the physical relays
on the PCB. The tables can be used in the fault finding process and should be used in conjunction with the
corresponding PCB layout diagrams to identify the position of faulty relays. Users of e BIRST switching system
test tools do not need to use this information to locate faulty relays.
