RELAY SPECIFICATIONS
Three types of relays are used in CX Series Matrices:
Type S Reed Relay - This is a single pole Form A dry reed
switch for low power applications.
Type M Reed Relay - This is a single pole Form A mercury
wetted reed switch for higher power applications.
Type A Armature Relay - This is a single pole Form C ar-
mature relay for RF applications.
The CXB Series is available with either Type S or Type M.
The CXE Series uses Type S only.
The CXG, CXF and CXL Series all use Type A relays.
Reed relays are guaranteed for 100 million operations, and
Armature relays are guaranteed for 1,000,000 operations if
used within the following ratings:
WARRANTY
CYTEC Corp. warrants that all products are free from defects
in Material and Workmanship for a period of 5 years and
that all switches are guaranteed for their Rated Operations.
A 10 year warranty/service agreement is available with the
purchase of specied spare parts.
Drivers and Sample Programs are available for the most
common programming languages. These check the entire
system by cycling through all switches, sequentially latching
and unlatching each switch while checking Status.
CX-4
CXL SERIES 8x8 BLOCKING MATRIX
The CXL/8x8 blocking matrix is a compact and af-
fordable, DC to 700 MHz coaxial 8x8, bidirectional
matrix as shown in Fig. 9. The system will allow any
input to be connected to any output but requires
that the entire switch is recongured in order to
establish a new path. This may cause a momentary
disconnect in previously set paths when a new con-
nection is desired.
The CXL/8x8 is an extremely cost effective solution
for tests which are not recongured during the test
run, or can tolerate momentary loss of signal during
reconguration.
