Description
The PXI Chassis, with part number 778636-02, is a model PXI-1042Q recognized for its efficient design and technical robustness. It incorporates a fan configuration that includes 2 framework fans and 1 power supply fan. These fans can operate on a HIGH setting for maximum cooling efficiency or on an AUTO setting to manage acoustic noise, which can be as low as 43 dBA.
This chassis offers 8 slots for module installation and boasts a system bandwidth of 132 MB/s. Each slot is capable of a cooling capacity of 30 W, ensuring that modules operate within optimal temperature ranges. It is compatible with 3U PXI and CompactPCI modules, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
The PXI-1042Q operates within an extended temperature range and features a detachable, high-performance AC power supply. Configuration and management of the chassis can be efficiently carried out using the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). It includes removable components such as a high-performance general AC control supply with built-in current protection, ensuring safety and reliability.
To minimize electrical noise, this chassis is equipped with an isolated 12 VDC line specifically for the cooling fans. Its mean time to repair (MTTR) is less than five minutes, highlighting the chassis’s ease of maintenance. The AC power requirements are flexible, with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC and an operating voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC, complemented by an input frequency of 50/60 Hz.
Connectivity options include 1 male 9-pin D-SUB (DB-9) and 2 BNC connectors on the rear panel, offering a range of interfacing possibilities. Finally, the PXI-1042Q is available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves, as indicated by its mature status announcement, ensuring long-term support and availability for users.
