OP8120 Modular signal conditioning chassis OP8120 MODULAR SIGNAL CONDITIONING CHASSIS OP8120 MSCC is a high power pre and post-conditioning chassis (amplifier) for our standard OP5330 and OP5340 analog I/O boards. It is designed to be used with simulators equipped with the OP5330 and OP5340 conditioning boards and to make high power conditioning and cabling easier to maintain. Each chassis can accommodate multiple modules for a maximum consumption of 500W. The chassis is designed according to module power consumption, and rather than a fixed number of channels. The chassis is nonetheless limited to a maximum of 32 channels per chassis at the lowest power rating per channel. features Quick connection using screw terminal and DB37 connectors Choice of current or voltage output boards Built-in power supply Maximum consumption: 500W Various contioning (amplifier) modules available receiving and verification When you receive your shipment, we strongly recommend that you verify the contents of the package(s). After carefully opening the package, remove the equipment and components. Make sure that all the items described below are actually in the box and are undamaged. standard hardware The OP8120 MSCC includes the following basic hardware: Item QTY Description Part Number OP8120 modular signal conditioning chassis 1 N/A DB37 cables 2 DB37M cables for connection to simulator Powerd cord 1 Standard power cord Documentation Test Report User Documentation CD N/A Opal-RT strongly recommends the use of anti-static wrist straps whenever handling any electronic device provided by Opal-RT.
