The 6063 rackframe is a 19” wide, 3U high unit offering an extensive mix and match
capability for up to 12 modules.
Notable characteristics of the rackframe are:
•versatility to accommodate different modules
•dual mains transformers
•robust construction
•removable door
•anti-static earthing point
It has the flexibility to accommodate different modules by allowing various
motherboard sections to be installed to suit specific applications. Two card slots are
designated for the standard range of modules, the remaining ten slots are
configurable in two, five slot motherboard sections to cater for further standard type
modules, digital video converters, or fibre optic interfaces.
There are three different types of Pro-Bel modules that can be fitted in the 6063
frame:
•conventional modules, using a type 1 motherboard
•digital video ADC/DAC, using a type 2 motherboard
•fibre optic interfaces, using a type 3 motherboard
The type 1 motherboard accommodates five cards, together with their relevant rear
connector assemblies.
Up to four Digital video ADC and DAC converter cards are catered for by the type 2
motherboard section. It is available as a complete unit, comprising a motherboard
section, a regulator card and a termination assembly.
The fibre optic interface motherboard section, type 3, allows five of these cards to be
accommodated in the rackframe.
Two mains transformers are fitted as standard, giving automatic supply redundancy.
These transformers provide twin ac power rails along the motherboard, with each
card locally rectifying and regulating from these to suit its individual requirements.
This arrangement not only removes the PSU as a major point of failure, but
additionally distributes the heat dissipation evenly across the frame.

During the installation process it is important to observe the following points:
•do not obstruct the vents on the unit to allow cooling to take place
•set the ac supply voltage to the correct local value

The door can be removed from the frame by opening it approximately 30°and lifting
upwards. It will not disconnect from the hinge at a greater angle.
For correct re-fitting of the door, ensure that it is centrally located on the hinge.

The rackframe is supplied with a combination of rear connector panels and blanking
plates. To fit the panels, or to later change the position of a module, the procedure is
as follows:
•only minimal force is required for this operation - do not overtighten
•ensure that the pins and socket mate on a one-to-one basis and that there is no
offset either vertically or horizontally
•where a rear connector panel only has one row of pins, these normally mate with
the right column of the motherboard socket
•the rear connector panel is secured to the metalwork using the M2.5 crosshead
screws supplied
•if the screwholes do not align then the panel is wrongly fitted
WARNING: The screws form an essential chassis connection for EMC
compliance and must not be omitted

The ac supply voltage is set using voltage selectors fitted to the fuse holders, located
in the power supply unit at the rear of the frame, as described opposite. Before
commencing, it is essential to disconnect the power from the frame.
WARNING: Maintenance of these units should only be carried out by
trained service personnel.

A range of different modules may be accommodated by installing various
motherboard sections. The three currently available types are designated ‘type 1’,
‘type 2’ and ‘type 3’.
Configuration is usually set at Pro-Bel and does not normally need to be adjusted.
However, frames initially supplied with some motherboard sections omitted can be
upgraded in the field. For identification purposes, the appearance of the different
motherboard sections is described in this chapter.

The type 1 motherboard section caters for the majority of modules available. Five
cards are accommodated, together with their relevant rear connector assemblies. The
motherboard busses low voltage ac power to each module position, with fixed links
providing connection between motherboard sections.

This section is treated as a complete unit comprising a regulator card (1185) and
termination assembly. The regulator card provides dc supplies to the converters. It is
always used with an ADC and DAC termination assembly (1653) fitted to the rear of
the frame. Up To four type 2 cards may be accommodated by one motherboard.

The type 3 motherboard permits five of these cards to be accommodated in the
rackframe, alongside other conventional modules. Optical modules are supplied with
blanking panels with cut-outs to be fitted to the rear of the frame. The fibre and
coaxial connectors protrude through slots in the motherboard and must be secured
to the rear panel using a lock washer and retaining nut from the rear of the frame.
WARNING: The lock washer and retaining nut form an essential
chassis connection for EMC compliance and must not be omitted

The 6063 is fitted with an 1176 dual transformer unit which has an output monitor
socket.
The unit is electrically connected via flying leads with eyelets that are screwed to the
motherboard.
Power supplies are fitted from the rear of the frame and are secured by four screws.

There are 4 monitor output connections, two from each transformer. All are ac
outputs. Typical output voltage will be 14V to 20Vac depending on loading in the
frame. The pins from ac input 1 are labelled +1 and -1 and from ac input 2, +2 and -2.
The module has indicator lamps for each ac input to show that an input voltage is
present.

The incoming mains is stepped-down via transformers within the power supply unit
to 14-0-14 volts. This is connected to the first motherboard section via flying leads
from the transformers. It is linked between motherboard sections using power
sockets and jumper links.
When type 2 modules are used, the regulator card (1185) provides local regulation.
Other module types use individual or card regulators to suit.
The possible configurations of type 1, 2 and 3 modules are indicated opposite. The
power supply position and the first two (type 1) module slots are always the same.
The other motherboard sections can vary.
