The 60-510 is a high density 1-pole 56x33 matrix controlled via LXI.
It has excellent thermal stability and substantially reduced thermal
EMF gures when compared to a conventional switching matrix.
Typical applications include signal routing in ATE, selecting
thermocouple inputs, switching amplier gain circuits and high
accuracy DC microvolt measurements.
Ruthenium reed switches are used because of their good low level
switching capability. They also have a very long life with excellent
contact resistance stability and low thermal offset.
The 60-510 is designed in accordance with the LXI Standard 1.4 and
is supplied in a 2U high, full rack width case with 500mm depth.

pickering SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE LOW THERMAL EMF MATRIX
The 60-510 may be mounted on a desk top or tted into a standard 19 inch rack (rack versions are supplied with
mounting anges tted to either side of the front panel). When tting into a rack it is important to provide
adequate support using side brackets or runners, the mounting holes in the front panel anges are designed
only for securing the unit in the rack and must NOT be used to support the weight of the whole unit.
The 60-510 relies upon forced air cooling for the power supply and processor area of the chassis. Internal fans
draw air through slots milled in the rear of the left and right side extrusions and expell air through two vents on the
rear panel. When positioning the chassis, make sure that there is adequate clearance to allow unrestricted air ow
through these vents. The locations of the air intakes and outlets are shown in Figures 3-1 and 3-2.
Power is supplied to the rear of the device using a standard IEC power lead and the power on/off switch is located
next to the power inlet socket. The device is supplied with a suitable Earthed mains power lead, If a different lead
is used it is important to ensure that an adequate Earth connection is present. When mounted in a rack, provision
should be made to allow access to the rear of the device. This is to enable the operation of the power on/off switch
and the Reset button. The rear panel layout is shown below.
The Low Thermal EMF Matrix is controlled by the host computer via an Ethernet interface. The RJ45 socket on the
rear of the unit can be connected to a hub or switch via an Ethernet cable to allow control over a local area or wide
area network. Alternatively a crossover Ethernet cable can be used to connect the unit to a laptop PC and local
control can be carried out isolated from a network. The IP address of the unit has to be manually or automatically
congured before it can be used on a network, please refer to the following section “Setting the IP Address” and the
“LXI Getting Started Guide” document to carry out this process.
Note: To get the best results from the Low Thermal EMF Matrix, it is advisable to leave the unit powered up for
a minimum of 60 minutes before performing any tests. Also, as well as observing the cooling conditions
described, the unit should not be sited immediately above sources of heat such as power supplies.
