ORDERING INFORMATION
53A-331 – Reed Relay scanner Card
OPT 20 – Backplane Output Isolation Switch
53A-721 – Analog Cable, or
53A-780 – Hooded Connector
• 10 separately controllable 4-wire channels
• Random channel selection at rates greater than 150 channels per second
• Use as either a multiplexer or demultiplexer
• At least 10^7 operations per channel at full rated load
The Reed Relay Scanner Card provides 10 four-wire channels of analog signal acquisition, with a switching rate of up to one-hundred-fifty channels per second. A channel can be randomly selected (closed) by transmitting ASCII characters from the system controller (calculator or computer) to the CDS System.
The Reed Relay Scanner Cards can be plugged into a card cage to provide scanning of one-hundred channels.
BITE
Ten LEDs provide Built-In-Test Equipment (“BITE”) for the Scanner Card. An individual LED will be lit when its corresponding channel is closed.
