1. Safety
Intended Application
The PXE100A series remote controller kit is not designed for stand-alone use -- in order to enable stand-
alone functionality, additional elements are required. An operational system is achieved only by way of
appropriate PXI Express Cards.
The completion and final testing of the units have been carried out by qualified technicians. These
instructions are intended to assist those who are qualified to operate this equipment.
Make sure that the finished system complies with the safety regulations currently applicable in the
country it is going to be used.
Safety Symbols
Hazardous voltage!
Familiarize yourself with the danger of electrical voltages and the safety
precautions before starting to work with parts that carry dangerous voltages
Caution!
This symbol indicates a condition where damage of the equipment or injury of
the service personnel could occur. To reduce the risk of damage or injury,
follow all steps or procedures as instructed.
Danger of electrostatic discharge!
Static electricity can damage sensitive components in a system. To avoid
damage, wear ESD wrist straps or at regular intervals touch blank enclosure
parts.
General Safety Precautions
Warning!
Voltages over 60 VDC can be present in this equipment. This equipment is
intended to be accessed, installed and maintained by qualified and trained service
personnel only.
This equipment is designed in accordance with protection class 1.
It must therefore be operated only with protective GND/earth connection.

Safety Instructions
This user's manual is intended for system Integrators and hardware/software engineers.
This product has been designed to meet the relevant standard industrial safety requirements. It is not
intended to be used in applications other than that of its specific area of the office telecommunication
industry and industrial control. It is not designed nor intended for use in safety-critical applications, life-
sustaining appliances or in aircraft.
Only trained personnel or persons qualified in electronics or electrical engineering are authorized to
install, operate or maintain the product.
This section provides safety information about the following:
Protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Electrostatic discharge precautions
System installation
ProtectionAgainstElectromagneticInterference(EMI)
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules, EN 55022 Class A.
To ensure proper EMC shielding, operate the chassis only with filler panels covering all unpopulated
slots.
Ensure that all EMI gaskets make correct contact.
ElectrostaticDischargePrecautions
Electronic components can be easily destroyed by electrostatic discharge which can occur between
chassis components and a person.
Before working on the chassis, be sure that you are working in an ESD-safe environment or have
taken the necessary ESD precautions (ESD wrist strap, lab coat, etc.)
Installation
To avoid chassis damage, verify that the system environment meets or exceeds the environmental and
power requirements given in this guide before installation. In doing so, consider these guidelines:
Location
Locate the system in a stable area free of excessive movement or jarring, dust, smoke, and electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Make sure that the temperature does not exceed the operating temperature given in
the environmental requirements in this guide and allow room for proper air flow for cooling.
VoltageHazards
The system is powered with a power supply with the following voltage to the mains: 115/230VAC.
(Voltage range 90VAC to 264VAC)
This voltage is considered hazardous.
SystemOverheating
Ensure a clearance of at least 10 cm on both sides of the chassis to allow the needed air flow for proper
system cooling
Shelf ambient temperature may not exceed 50°C.

www.hartmann-electronic.com Rev. 1.0 6
MountingConsiderations
Assure that all components, structural or otherwise, were not loosened nor damaged during shipment
prior to use.
Do not operate under loose or damaged conditions as it may damage other parts of the system at large.
ElectricalHazards
The caution label on the system's rear, near the grounding studs, indicates a needed earth connection
due to the potential for high-leakage current which is considered hazardous.
High leakage current can cause injuries.
Ensure that the system is properly grounded at all times. Please account for the following condition:
This equipment shall be connected directly to the AC supply system earthing
BoardInstallation
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation/removal can damage circuits or shorten their life.
Before touching the boards or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an ESD-
safe environment
Boards should be inserted and removed using their handles -- do not force the board by applying pressure to
the front panel.

2. Product Description
The PXE100A series PXI Express Remote Controller is designed to operate in a PXI Express System Slot. The
controller complies with the PXI Express module form factor. With its use, a conventional Desktop PC is used to
control a PXI Express Chassis.
With the use of a Hartmann Electronic PCIE101A PC adapter, the Remote Controller is connected with a
standard PCIe X4 cable to the desktop PC. The interface of the PXE100A, as well as the interface of the
PCIE101A, are fully compliant with the PCI Express External Cable Specification, Revision 2.0.

Chassis Description
The PXI Express Remote Controller is plugged into the PXI Express Backplane’s System Slot. The Space-saving
4 TE design allows ample space for additional system components as well as further PXI Express Modules,
conveniently placed directly next to the controller.
The Controller is suitable for PXI Express Chassis that implement a PXI Express System Slot 4-Link
configuration.

The Block Diagram above outlines the Hardware implementation of the PCIe PC Card PCIE101A. As shown in
Figure 2-1, the PC-Card is available in both high and low profile versions of the front panel. This allows the PC
card to be plugged into any Desktop PC Chassis.
The PC Card can be plugged into a PCIe X4, PCIe X8 or PCIe X16 slot. The card re-drives a PCIe X4 link to the
standard PCIe X4 Cable Connector.
PCIe Gen. 3 data rates are supported with the card by utilizing a PCIe X4 Link.
