Description
The Part Number 777423-04 refers to a VXI Chassis known by its model name VXI-1500. This particular chassis is designed as a 13-Slot Mainframe, specifically tailored for use with a Universal Europe 240 VAC power supply. It adheres to the VXIbus Specification Revision 1.4, ensuring compatibility and performance standards are met.
This chassis provides 13 C-sized VXIbus slots, offering ample space for various modules. It is also compatible with A-sized and B-sized modules, though adapters are required for their use. One of the key features of the VXI-1500 is its robust heat dissipation capabilities, capable of handling up to 1100 W with a 115 VAC input or 1420 W with a 230 VAC input.
The power supply of the VXI-1500 is notable for its durability, boasting a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 50,000 hours. Cooling is efficiently managed via filtered forced-air cooling, ensuring the system remains at optimal operating temperatures even under heavy load. Safety is a priority, with overcurrent protection provided through push-reset circuit breakers.
Among its additional features are remote power monitoring and inhibit, a recessed On/Off switch, and the elimination of backplane jumpers for a simpler setup. Users have the flexibility of rackmounted or bench installation, making it a versatile choice for different operational environments.
Although its Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, the VXI-1500 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that existing systems can be maintained or expanded, securing the long-term viability of this high-performance chassis.
