3. Installation
3.1 After unpacking
After unpacking, check the pluggable interface card(s) for
signs of physical damage. If any damage can be found do
not use and insert the card into any device!
3.2 Inserting a card
The card(s) must only be inserted while the unit is completely
switched off. The unit does not have to be opened. Remove
the screws from the slot cover or from an already equipped
card and remove the cover/card. Insert the new card with
caution until the card plate touches the rear side of the unit.
If there is space between the rear side and the card pla-
te, do not tighten the screws, because the card is not
placed correctly! The wiring between the PC and/or other
units has also be done before the unit is switched on again.
The card(s) will be automatically detected by the device after
powering it on and can now be configured.
Note about the IF-A1: before equipping the card, you should
set the jumpers correctly. Refer to „4.4.1 Configuring the IF-
A1“, subsection „Digital inputs“.
Note: in case the card is not recognized after switching the
unit on, it might be necessary to update the firmware of your
device. Please contact your dealer for further information.
Caution! There are components on the card which are
sensitive for ESD. You must follow the general ESD provi-
sions when handling and installing a card.
3.3 Combining interface cards
At models with more than one card slot following restrictions
apply:
- never equip two cards of the same type
- the cards IF-R1 and IF-U1 must not be equipped together
- IF-G1 must not be combined with IF-C1
4. Usage in devices of series PSI 9000
The interface cards are designed to be used in various type of
devices. Depending on the typical features of a certain device
type, like an electronic load, the resulting operation variety
differs. This section handles the configuration and handling
of the cards if used in laboratory power supplies of the series
PSI 9000. If you have purchased a different type of device,
please read further in the corresponding sections
Information about the handling and navigation in the menus
and parameter pages of the various device types is available
the corresponding user manuals.
