WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL
This product is not specically designed for use in hazardous environments, for example in explosive
atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user
ensures suitable protective measures are taken.
!
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.
4. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) tted with these devices must be stored and transported in
anti-static bags.
WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL
This unit may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the unit from the rack remove all supplies
and disconnect user I/O signals.
If the unit has removable modules, unused slots in the chassis must be populated with blanking
panels to prevent access to user I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to
order from Pickering. 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.
Not to be used in safety critical circuits, refer to the Pickering Interfaces’ terms & conditions of sale.
This unit must not be used for the switching of Mains Circuits. For the switching of voltages up to the
unit’s full specication, Secondary Circuit power supplies and the Device Under Test must be fully
isolated from the Mains Circuit and the safety earth.
The chassis must be correctly installed and be connected to mains or factory safety ground,
please refer to the installation section of this manual.
Diagram Showing Separation Between The Mains Circuit and Secondary Circuit / DUT
For the purposes of this document, a Mains Circuit is an installation classied as Overvoltage
Category II up to 300V. Separation between the Secondary Circuit and Mains Circuit is achieved
by a transformer in which the primary windings are separated from the secondary windings by
reinforced insulation, double insulation, or a screen connected to the protective conductor terminal.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL
Suitably qualied & trained users should ensure that the accompanying documentation is fully read
and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING - RACK MOUNTING
If it is required to t this unit into a 19 inch rack, its weight must be
supported by side brackets, runners or a suitable equipment shelf.
The xing holes in the front panel anges are designed only for
securing the device in the rack and must NOT be used to support
the weight of the whole device.
Please refer to Appendix A for the procedure for tting the
supplied anges to either side of the front panel.
!
HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY WARNING
THIS UNIT IS CAPABLE OF SWITCHING VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS THAT CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES. IN APPLICATIONS INVOLVING HIGH VOLTAGES IT
IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT UNUSED CONNECTORS ARE CAPPED
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WHILE IN USE. SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
AND USERS SHOULD CONNECT TO THE FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS WITH
CONNECTORS OR CABLE ASSEMBLIES THAT ENSURE OPERATORS WILL NOT
INADVERTENTLY COME IN CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGES.

The 65-219 is a modular matrix platform designed to provide a
large matrix solution with 2A current carrying capacity on all Y
paths.
Matrices are created by populating the 65-200 chassis with plugin
modules with access to the X axis on 15-pin D-type connectors
and the Y axis on 50-pin D-type connectors. The chassis is
capable of supporting matrices with a Y axis size of 20 or 40 and X
axis sizes up to 60 in increments of 10. Users can specify as many
or as few plugin modules as they require and can eld upgrade the
chassis to extend the matrix.
The chassis supports up to 6 plugin modules. These plugins can
be X or Y types:
The X type plugins have a 10(X)x40(Y) or 10(X)x20(Y) matrix
with connections on a 15-pin D-type plug. Isolation relays
are included to minimize capacitance loading and maximize
bandwidth. A second 15-pin D-type plug is provided for loop-
thru connections.
The Y type plugins have two 50-pin D-type plugs, each
providing connection to the Y-Bus via isolation relays. These
connections provide access for both Y and Y Loop-thru allowing
easy expansion of the system. The chassis can have none
of these plugin modules (no direct Y access), 1 or more – the
latter providing a simple means of adding Switched Signal
connections for additional measurement equipment.
Cooling for the chassis is provided by rear fans and front air
intakes ensuring no wasted space when it is rack mounted. The
cooling system is adaptive, minimizing acoustic noise when used
in quiet laboratory environments. Unused chassis slots are lled
using supplied blanking pieces to ensure correct air ow.
Plugins are loaded into the chassis via the front panel, greatly
improving the exibility and ease of maintenance of the unit.
Configuring the Matrix
To select the parts that you need to create a matrix simply:
• Specify a 65-200-001 Modular Matrix Chassis.
• Add 65-219-10x Y Plugin Modules as required.
• Add 65-219-20x X1 to X10 Plugin Modules needed to make up
the X dimension of the matrix – simply divide the X size by 10
and round up to the next integer to nd the number required.
