FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance or exploratory procedure, read carefully the
WARNINGS and CAUTION notices.
This equipment contains voltage hazardous to human life and
safety, and is capable of inflicting personal injury.
If this instrument is to be powered from the AC line (mains) through an
autotransformer, ensure the common connector is connected to the neutral (earth
pole) of the power supply.
Before operating the unit, ensure the conductor (green wire) is connected to the
ground (earth) conductor of the power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor extension
cord or a three-prong/two-prong adapter. This will defeat the protective feature of the
third conductor in the power cord.
Maintenance and calibration procedures sometimes call for operation of the unit with
power applied and protective covers removed. Read the procedures and heed
warnings to avoid “live” circuit points.
Before operating this instrument:
1. Ensure the proper fuse is in place for the power source to operate.
2. Ensure all other devices connected to or in proximity to this instrument are properly grounded or
connected to the protective third-wire earth ground.
If the instrument:
- fails to operate satisfactorily
- shows visible damage
- has been stored under unfavorable conditions
- has sustained stress
Do not operate until, performance is checked by qualified personnel

NOTE FOR SYSTEMS WITH 1260-OPT 01T
The “Module-Specific Syntax” section of this manual shows the command syntax for the 1260-01S
Smart Card. If you are using the newer 1260-01T Smart Card, the commands will NOT work as
shown.
Consult the 1260-01T Manual for a description of the commands which may be used with the 1260-
01T Smart Card.
The channel numbers described in this manual are valid for the 1260-01T. The channel numbers
continue to be used for the 1260-01T.
The syntax of the commands which use channel numbers has changed for those cards controlled
by the 1260-01T.
The new syntax used to close a channel is:
CLOSE (@ <module address> ( <channel> ) )
For example, with for a relay module whose <module address> is set to 7, closing <channel> 0 is
performed with the command:
CLOSE (@ 7 (0))
Using the older 1260-01S, the command would be (as shown in this manual):
CLOSE 7.0
Many other command syntax differences exist. Please consult chapter 2 of the 1260-01T manual
for a description of the commands which are available for the 1260-01T.

Control Information for the 1260-37A
The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-37A
Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-37A when using a 1260-01T in the
register-based mode of operation.
The table below shows the mapping between logical channels used to operate the relay module in
message-based mode and the bits within the Control Registers which may be used to operate the
channel in register-based mode.
Each Control Register is located 2 addresses from the previous Control Register. This is shown in
Table 2-2 of the 1260-01T manual. Control Register 0 is located at the “Base A24 Address” for the
module. Consult the “Register-Based Operation” Section of Chapter 2 of the 1260-01T manual for
a description of calculating control register addresses.
Each channel between 0 and 23 (inclusive) is operated by setting or clearing two bits in parallel.
One bit in each of two different Control Registers must be set to operate these channels as a 4-wire
MUX.
Channels 100 through 139 are each operated by a single bit of a single Control Register.

Control Information for the 1260-37B
The following information describes the control-register-to-relay-channel mapping for a 1260-37B
Relay Module. This information may be used to control a 1260-37B when using a 1260-01T in the
register-based mode of operation.
Each relay on this module is controlled by setting or clearing a single bit. Control Registers on the
module operate 8 channels simultaneously. There are eight control bits per Control Register.
Setting the bit to a 1 closes the relay; setting the bit to a 0 opens the relay.
The table below shows the mapping between logical channels used to operate the relay module in
message-based mode and the bits within the Control Registers which may be used to operate the
channel in register-based mode.
Each Control Register is located 2 addresses from the previous Control Register. This is shown in
Table 2-2 of the 1260-01T manual. Control Register 0 is located at the “Base A24 Address” for the
module. Consult the “Register-Based Operation” Section of Chapter 2 of the 1260-01T manual for
a description of calculating control register addresses.

MODULE SPECIFICATION
1260-37 Module
Specification The 1260-37 switch module consists of two switch circuits; a 1 x
48 Signal Multiplexer/Scanner and a 40-Channel SPDT Switch.
The Signal Multiplexer circuit switches two lines per channel, and
has the capability of being configured as one 1 x 48 multiplexer,
two 1 x 24 multiplexers, four 1 x 12 multiplexers, or eight 1 x 6
multiplexers. The signal mulitplexer configuration is user
selectable, but is supplied from the factory in the one 1 x 48 two-
wire mode. In addition, the multiplexer may be configured as a
one-wire 1 x 96 multiplexer. A block diagram of this circuit is shown
in Figure 3-1. The 40 channel SPDT switch circuit provides 40
independent channels of switching. Each channel features one
common line that connects to either a normally open or normally
closed position. A block diagram of this circuit is shown in Figure
3-2.
