MODULE CONNECTORS 12 connectors each as specified by DOE ER 0457T INSTALLED WIRING All connectors of the Model 4001C are wired in parallel for 6 V 6 V 12 V 12 V 24 V 24 V high quality power return and 117 V ac in accordance with DOE ER 0457T pin assignments with interface connector furnished for connection to power supply as required by DOE ER 0457T The Model 4001C is equipped with PWB with copper bus bars on the 6 V 6 V 12 V 12 V 24 V 24 V AWG 14 equivalent and for the power ground return AWG 10 equivalent CONSTRUCTION Aluminum alloy side members with nickel chromium plated handles on front panel mounting flanges Top and bottom members are high tensile steel rod weldments nickel plated containing module guides Rear connector plate is steel cadmium plated WEIGHT Net Model 4001C 4 5 kg 10 Ib with Model 4002A Power Supply 10 5 kg 23 Ib with Model 4002D Power Supply 15 8 kg 35 Ib Shipping Model 4001C 7 3 kg 16 Ib with Model 4002A Power Supply 14 kg 30 Ib with Model 4002D Power Supply 23 2 kg 51 Ib 3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3 1 POWER SUPPLY INPUT VOLTAGE The ORTEC Model 4002A or 4002D Power Supply that usually accompanies the Model 4001C Bin may be used on either 117 V or 230 V 50 or 60 Hz input power The conversion from one voltage to the other is accomplished by a slide switch located on the rear of the power supply and labeled as to voltage choice Howeve2. earlier versions of the standards the user should become familiar with the specifications of the particular supply in use to determine the available current at each voltage Twelve basic module widths of 3 34 cm 1 35 in each are provided in a standard bin Modules may be of single width or any multiple thereof as required by the individual module design However all 12 module connectors are provided in the standard bin allowing any desired combination of module location Two module and bin heights are provided by the standards 22 23 cm 8 3 4 in and 13 34 cm 5 1 4 in These standard heights as well as the basic external mounting dimensions of the bin conform to the established ASA standards for relay rack mounting of electrical equipment There the DOE ER 0457T standard bins will mount in standard relay racks along with other rack mounted equipment The DOE ER 0457T standards deal only with requirements for electrical and mechanical interchangeability They do not deal with circuit designs or methods except to the extent of the power supply voltage standards In addition to the firm requirements designated as Standards in DOE ER 0457T there are Preferred Practices which deal with subsidiary matters in the interest of suggested further compatibility Included in the Preferred Practices are standard linear and logic signal parameters which if observed allow compatible interconnections between instruments 1
3. 2 ORTEC MODULAR INSTRUMENTS ORTEC modular nuclear instruments conforming to the standards of DOE ER 0457T are designed for insertion and operation in a Model 4001C Bin with an attached mating power supply In addition to meeting the basic requirements of DOE ER 0457T each ORTEC module also provides two additional compatibility features 1 Where applicable the standard linear and logic signal parameters of the Preferred Practices of DOE ER 0457T are used providing compatible interconnections between instruments 2 The power supply demand of any given ORTEC module is generally limited to no more than its proportional share of the occupancy of bin space In this way the user does not have to compute the power supply total demand and compare this to the capability of the supply These ORTEC instrument modules are made only in the 22 23 cm 8 3 4 in high standards module package The panel space requirements of this type of research instrumentation have precluded the use of the smaller 13 34 cm 5 1 4 in standard height 1 3 ORTEC 4001C MODULAR SYSTEM BIN The ORTEC 4001C Modular System Bin provides mounting space for 12 standard module widths of the 22 23 cm 8 3 4 in high type The 12 corresponding module connectors are provided with necessary wiring for distribution of all of the standard power supply voltages The Model 4001C Bin has standard power supply voltages that are distributed to the module connectors through bu
4. OE ER 0457T standard bin and modules provides for cooling by natural convection flow Several bins can be mounted above each other without heat problems in the usual installation However one should not mount heat producing vacuum tube equipment or other large sources of heat in the same cabinet with the standard bin without accounting for the temperature use The use of cooling fans in equipment cabinets will reduce the operating temperature of the enclosed equipment However it will also invariably couple the circuits involved more tightly to the temperature variations of the environment In systems installation requiring the ultimate in stability of operating parameters the best practice is to provide only for natural convection cooling of the equipment This provides long time constants between the equipment and external temperature variations with resultant smaller variations even though the average absolute temperature may be higher ORTEC modules are designed with all major signal connections on the front panel in some cases it is necessary to locate connections on the rear of the module due to panel space limitations If systems are contemplated that require use of rear panel connections to any great extent the user may find it convenient to leave open gaps between installed bins for convenience in making front to rear connections 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4 1 CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS ON OFF Switch interrupts both sid

10. r it is prudent to check this switch for proper setting before operating the supply on 230 V The power transformer is tapped for a simple conversion to 100 V or 200 V input levels Note that when the power supply is operated from 117 V input power a direct connection provides the 117 V ac power to the assigned pins in the module connectors and the amount of 117 V power available is limited only by the fuse However when input power is 230 V the 117 V ac power provided for the module connectors is limited by transformer ratings in the power supply as stated in the power supply specifications The fuse supplied in the power supply is the proper one for input voltage selection as shipped If a field change of input voltage is made the proper fuse change should be made as outlined in the power supply instruction manual 3 2 INSTALLATION IN RACK The mounting provisions of the Model 4001C Bin conform to the well established ASA standards for rack mounting equipment The mounting holes at the edge of the panel will match the standard spacing of tapped 10 32 holes provided in the standard relay rack The use of the usual oval head screws and cup washers is recommended Mechanical support of the bin may be entirely from the panel members However the use of horizontal guide brackets to support the bottom of the bin will facilitate removal of the bin from the rack and will remove strain from the bin and rack The basic design of the D
