WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user

ensures suitable protective measures are taken.

WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL

This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all

supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.

Unused slots in the host chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user

I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety

of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then

additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL

Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or

sub-assemblies containing these devices:

1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a

wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.

2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.

3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O

signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).

• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or

the combined weight of the modules & chassis.

• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the

chassis and the user I/O signals.

• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.

• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on

the front of the unit.

SECTION 1 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The 40-727A/728A/729A (PXI) and 42-727A/728A/729A

(PXIe) are high density RF matrix modules suitable for

switching up to 300 MHz in 50 Ω or 100 MHz in 75 Ω. They

are available in 50 Ω or 75 Ω versions with SMB connectors

or in 50 Ω versions with a multiway connector. They provide

a simple and scalable bidirectional matrix for RF signals

and are intended for the construction of high performance

switching systems. All X and Y connections have isolation

switches. These can be used to disconnect the matrix from

the test ﬁxture to maximize isolation and RF performance.

Updated Product

These modules are based on the established 40-727/8/9. As

well as having PXIe options, they use Pickering reed relays

throughout giving improved operation speed and reliability.

SECTION 1 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Matrix Operation

The 4x-727A/728A/729A are designed for X

to Y connections with maximum bandwidth.

They can also support X to X connections in

the same module or between multiple

modules (using loop-thru option) - see user

manual.

They are based on the same architecture

as the popular 40-725 RF matrix, but have

optional Y loop-thru allowing

easy expansion with minimum loss of

bandwidth.
