Description
The Part Number 187159A-01 refers to a product categorized under PXI Switches, specifically the model SCXI-1336, which has its unique part number as 777687-36. This model is designed to be compatible with SCXI-1129, highlighting a specialized configuration of a 16×16 (2-wire) matrix. It boasts direct connectivity of signal wires to screw terminals, enhancing its usability and efficiency.
One of the key features of the SCXI-1336 is its capacity for matrix expansion through a matrix expansion cable designed for row extension, thus offering scalability. It supports connections including scanner digital outputs and external input trigger signals. For interfacing, it employs two 128-pin DIN connectors for column interfacing, ensuring robust and reliable connections.
In terms of compliance, the SCXI-1336 adheres to the Low-Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) and the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC), ensuring its safe and effective operation within regulated environments. To set up or maintain this switch, several tools are required including an SCXI chassis, SCXI-1129 switch module, a 1/8 in. flathead screwdriver, numbers 1 and 2 Phillips screwdrivers, long-nose pliers, wire cutter, wire insulation stripper, and a matrix expansion plug.
It is important to note the voltage safety measures where hazardous voltages (greater than 42.4 Vpk/60 VDC) cannot be connected with safety low-voltage (equal to or less than 42.4 Vpk/60 VDC). This ensures the safety of the users and the equipment. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the SCXI-1336 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing an opportunity for users to continue benefiting from its functionality.
