8 EMX-75XX Introduction
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The EMX-75XX Series is a family of high-performance PXIe modules consisting of multiple I/O
configurations and logic levels. Dedicated input or output cards are available for high channel
count applications while other cards provide ultimate flexibility with eight, 8-bit ports (64
channels) that can be configured as an input or output under programmatic control.
FEATURES
Models capable of sinking 300 mA include built-in clamping diodes, making these modules ideal
for driving and sensing external devices such as relays, while all clamping diodes and open
collector channels can be pulled up internally, rather than on a per channel basis, simplifying
overall system cabling.Isolated models are also available for more demanding applications.
PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING
When an EMX-75XX Series module is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should
include the following items:
•An EMX-7510/EMX-7511/EMX-7512/EMX-7513/EMX-7514/EMX-7515/EMX-7519
•VTI Instruments Distribution CD
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit. ESD
precautions should be observed while unpacking and installing the instrument into a PXI Express
chassis. The part number, model number, and serial number can be found on the side cover of the
card as shown below.

INSPECTING THE EMX-75XX SERIES
The EMX-7510/EMX-7511/EMX-7512/EMX-7513/EMX-7514/EMX-7515/ EMX-7519 modules
were carefully inspected both mechanically and electrically before shipment. They should be free
of marks or scratches and they should meet their published specifications upon receipt. If the
module was damaged in transit, do the following:
•Save all packing materials
•File a claim with the carrier
•Call a VTI Instruments sales and service office
INSTALLATION
INSTALL EMX-75XX
1. Set up the PXI Express chassis. See the Chassis’ Installation Guide for assistance.
2. Make sure the PXI Express chassis is powered off.
3. Select a PXIe slot or a hybrid slot in the PXI Express chassis for the EMX-75XX and insert it
carefully.
4. After the EMX-75XX is inserted all the way, secure it with the screws at the top and bottom
of the EMX-75XX front panel.

10 EMX-75XX Introduction
STORAGE AND SHIPMENT
STORING INSTRUMENTS
Store the module in a clean, dry, and static-free environment. For other requirements, see storage
and transport restrictions in Specification.
TRANSPORTING INSTRUMENTS
Package the module using the original factory packaging or packaging identical to the factory
packaging. Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available
through VTI Instruments offices. If returning the module to VTI Instruments for service, contact a
VTI Service Center to set up an RMA. The following information will be required:
•Serial number
•Model number
•Type of service required
•Return address
•If applicable, a description of the problem that is being encountered which provides specific
detail relating the instrument being returned.
In any correspondence, refer to the serial number and RMA number. Mark the container
“FRAGILE” to ensure careful handling. If it is necessary to package the module in a container
other than the original packaging, observe the following (although use of other packaging material
is not recommended):
1. Wrap the module in heavy paper or anti-static plastic
2. Protect the front panel with cardboard
3. Use a double-wall carton made of at least 350 lbs test material
4. Cushion the module to prevent damage
CAUTION Do not use styrene pellets in any shape as packing material for the module. The pellets do not
adequately cushion the module and do not prevent the module from shifting in the carton. In
addition, the pellets create static electricity that can damage electronic components.
