LAN Interface
Compliant to LXI Standard 1.4, the 60-510 has a 1000Base-T
Ethernet Interface via a standard RJ-45 connector mounted on the
rear panel with an LCD display showing the unit’s IP address.*
*Note: Legacy units may not have 1000Base-T support or be tted
with an LCD display.
Relay Type
The 60-510 is tted with low thermal Pickering reed relays
(ruthenium sputtered type), these offer very long life with good
low level switching performance and excellent contact resistance
stability.
These relays are leaded types (not surface mount) so eld
maintenance is greatly simplied. Also a spare reed relay is built
onto the matrix circuit boards to allow easy maintenance with
minimum downtime (a fully populated 60-510 chassis has four
matrix circuit boards).
All reed relays are manufactured by our sister company Pickering
