Specifications

This chassis controls up to 96 switch points. A typical application would be 12 HXV/8x1 Switch Modules, but many confi gura-
tions are possible using different switch modules. One CL8 Display/Driver Modules is needed to drive each switch modules. The
CL8s also have built-in LEDs that show switch status. Add switch modules, the required CL8s, a control module and the optional
keypad manual control to complete the system. Standard chassis measure 15.6" deep and 7" high. Purchasing a HXV/96 chassis
only partially fi lled with switch modules allows cost-effective future expansion.

HXV/96 MAINFRAME
HXV/32, /96 and /128 are also built as expansion chassis that
are used with a MESA Control Chassis as shown in the MESA
Bulletin. Multiple expansion chassis allow large or complex
systems having one point of control to be confi gured, resulting
in cost savings. Expansion chassis do not have control modules
installed. Add switch modules and CL8 Display/Driver Modules
for the HXV/128 and HXV/96 as needed to complete the system.

LED INDICATORS / STATUS FEEDBACK
All HXV Mainframe and Expansion Chassis have LED displays
that show the on/off state of every relay. The LED indicators are
visible on the front panel and are labeled to match the program-
matic address of the relays.
The LEDs provide an invaluable aid for program debugging and
troubleshooting. They allow the user to easily verify switch point
status by simply looking at the system's front panel.
HXV/32 chassis have 32 switch status LEDs built into the front
panel. The LEDs are included in the chassis price.
HXV/ 96 and /128 Mainframes chassis require one CL8 Display
Module to drive each switch module. CL8 LEDs are visible
thru cutouts in the front panel. These display modules must be
purchased separately, in addition to the switch modules.

CONNECTORS
Two standard connectors are offered: 1) coaxial SHVs are used
for applications requiring shielded external wiring. SHVs are
similar to BNCs but can NOT be plugged into BNCs. 2) Bind-
ing Post (also know as Banana Plugs) are used when external
wiring is simply unshielded point to point hookup wires.
