Mainframe and module weights

Mainframe: 12.8 kg (28 lb)
Module, average: 1.25 kg (2.75 lb)

Lift and carry the MP5103

The MP5103 requires two people to lift, move, and install. Failure to recognise and observe standard safety precautions could result in personal injury.
Do not lift the MP5103 instrument alone, and do not lift the instrument using the front bezel or handles. Lifting the instrument by the front bezel or handles can cause instrument damage.

Precauzioni di manipulazione

Make sure to handle instruments carefully. Do not touch connectors or electrical contacts. Contamination from foreign materials such as dirt, dust, and body oils can substantially lower leakage resistances, which will degrade instrument performance.

The information in this section is intended only for qualified personnel. Do not perform these procedures unless you are qualified. Failure to recognise and observe standard safety precautions could result in personal injury or death due to electric shock.
Flussu d'aria
The MP5103 has side air intakes and rear and side exhaust vents. All sides must be unobstructed to allow for airflow and to dissipate heat.
Excessive heat could damage the MP5103 and degrade its performance. Only operate the MP5103 in an environment where the ambient temperature does not exceed 50 °C.

ATTENZIONE
To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified performance, use the following guidelines.

The side vents and rear and side outlet fans must be unobstructed to properly dissipate heat. Even partial blockage could impair proper cooling.
Do not position any devices adjacent to the MP5103 that force air (heated or unheated) toward it.
When rack mounting the MP5103, make sure there is adequate airflow around all sides of the instrument to ensure proper cooling. Adequate airflow enables air temperatures within approximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) of the MP5103 surfaces to remain within specified limits under all operating conditions.

The right side of the MP5103 has a cool air intake. It is recommended that there be 18 °C to 28 °C air available at the left and right sides of the instrument. The rear and left sides of the MP5103 also contain exhaust outlets.
If you rack-mount high-power-dissipation equipment next to the MP5103, it could cause excessive heating. To produce specified MP5103 accuracies, maintain the specified ambient temperature around the intake vents of the MP5103. In rack configurations with convection cooling only (not recommended), place the hottest, non-precision equipment in the rack as far above the MP5103 as practical.
If the MP5103 is installed in a closed cabinet, the cabinet should have forced-air cooling provided at no less than 730 CFM.

There must be at least 152.4 mm (6 in.) of space for exhaust vents at the rear of the mainframe.

Module dimensions top view
The following graphic illustrates the dimensions for a mainframe module when viewed from the top. Module dimensions are identical, regardless of instrument type.

Supply connection and grounding requirements

Before operating the mainframe, make sure that the line cord is connected to a properly grounded, appropriately-rated power receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use.
When you install equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as in a rack, a separate main input power disconnect device must be provided in proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.

Your MP5103 includes a grounding cable for connection to protective earth (safety ground). Connect one lugged end of this cable to the grounding screw on the rear panel of your MP5103, as shown in the following figure.

MP5103 installation

The MP5103 is intended to be mounted in a rack only. For detailed instructions, refer to the documentation for the Model 4299-15 Fixed Rack-Mount Kit, available from tek.com.
Any other rack-mount kits or methods do not guarantee or provide the presumption of a safe installation.
- Rack mounting the MP5103 requires two people. Failure to recognise and observe standard safety precautions could result in personal injury.

Interlock installation
The MP5103 provides an interlock circuit. This circuit includes a switch that is normally open and must be asserted (closed) to enable the outputs or make measurements with installed modules.
When the interlock is asserted, the green front-panel INTERLOCK indicator is illuminated.

The MP5103 interlock circuit must be positively activated to enable the output of installed modules. The interlock helps facilitate the safe operation of the equipment in a test system. Bypassing the interlock could expose the operator to hazardous voltages chì puderebbenu causà ferite persunali o morte.

The switch circuit can be installed on the lid of a test fixture, the enclosure of a semiconductor prober or device handler, or on the door or doors of a test equipment rack. The circuit opens when an access door is opened and closes when the door is closed.

You can use the interlock connector supplied with your MP5103 to make the interlock connection, though you must supply the connection wire. The recommended wire is:

20 AWG to 24 AWG copper alloy
7 to 19 bare and tinned strands
da 0.25 mm2 à 0.50 mm2
Flexible vinyl, semi-flexible vinyl, polyethene, x-linked polyethene, or PTFE

To ensure proper interlock operation, the combined resistance of the external interlock switch and connection wires must be less than 10 Ω when the switch is closed.

The interlock pin locations and connections are shown in the following figure. The pins are:

Pin 3: Earth and chassis ground
Pin 2: Interlock
Pin 1 (next to tab): +6 V DC out (current limited)

To assemble the interlock

Insert the wires into the connector at the locations shown in the following graphic.

Use a pair of pliers to squeeze the connector sections together.
You cannot disassemble the connector and reuse it. The replacement part number is CS-1616-3, Safety Interlock Mating Connector, or 3M part number 37103-A165-00E MB.
Cunnette u cable LAN.
Use a LAN crossover cable (RJ-45, plug to plug) or a straight-through cable to connect your equipment. The MP5103 includes a cable that you can use for LAN communications.
The following figure shows the location of the LAN port on the rear panel of the instrument. Connect the LAN cable between this connection and the LAN port on your computer, LAN switch, or network.

Install or remove a module with the mainframe powered off

This topic details the installation or removal of a module with the mainframe powered off and modules disconnected from any device under test (DUT).

Vol. Periculosutages may be present on the output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury or death, NEVER make or break connections to the MP5103 modules while the slot is powered on. Power down the slot before handling cables connected to the outputs. Verify that there is no voltage on the module’s terminals before making connections between the module and the DUT. Placing the output in standby mode does not guarantee that the outputs are not powered if a hardware or software fault occurs. For the safest operation, power down the MP5103 mainframe before making or breaking connections to the MP5103 modules.

To install a module:

Remove the module cover slot, if necessary.
Place the module into an empty slot, then push inward until the module is seated.
Use a tool that matches the screw head type to fasten the module retention screw to 4 in. lb (0.45 n-m).

The module retention screw must be securely fastened to provide a proper safety ground for the module. All modules must be secured in the mainframe with this screw to prevent death or serious injury due to electric shock.
