HXV SERIES SWITCH MODULES
The HXV Series switch modules are built with special high voltage reed relays that hot switch up to 3500
volts and cold switch carry 5000 volts. Applications include HiPot testing, insulation breakdown test-
ing and other extreme voltage requirements. Standard I/O signal connectors are either -SHV coaxial or
-BP banana plugs. The modules can be wired together internally to furnish larger confi gurations while
eliminating external connections. For example, chassis can be supplied pre-wired as 32x1 to 128x1 mul-
tiplexers, or as 16x2 to 64x2 matrices.
HXV/8x1
This switch module has eight Form A (Normally Open) relays
arranged in an 8x1 confi guration as shown in Fig. 1. A screw
terminal connector is built into the module so that the COM
connections of several modules may be wired together inside
the chassis to form larger multiplexers.

HXV/4x2
This switch module is built with eight Form A (SPST) relays ar-
ranged in a 4x2 matrix confi guration as shown in Fig. 2. Built-in
screw terminal connectors allow the two COM connections to
be wired together with other switch modules inside the chassis
to form larger matrices such as 8x2, 16x2, etc.

HXV/8-K
This module is built with eight individual Form A Normally Open-
relays. Each relay is wired out to one input and one output
connector. See Fig. 3. The module takes up a double slot in
the chassis.

CONTROL MODULES
IF-5C IEEE488/RS232 16 and 32 Channel Control
This Module has both the IEEE488 (Talk/Listen) and the RS232
features detailed in Applications Bulletin AP-5. This combination
module is used on all 16 or 32 channel chassis.
IF-5 IEEE488/RS232 64 and 128 Channel Control
This Module has both the IEEE488 (Talk/Listen) and the RS232
features detailed in Applications Bulletin AP-5. This combination
module is used on all 64 or 128 channel chassis.
IF-6 LAN INTERFACE
This Module uses TCP/IP to allow control from a local area net-
work as described in AP-5. It is available as an option on any
mainframe or MESA chassis also using RS232 control.
MANUAL CONTROL OPTION
Manual Controls are available for all mainframe chassis.
HXV/32 Mainframes chassis can be purchased with an optional
32 channel pushbutton manual control PB/32.
HXV/96 and HXV/128 mainframes can be built with optional
keypad manual controls MC-2.
