Assembling the TS-15000 for Direct-Mounting
This procedure walks you through assembling the TestScale components for the TS-15000 direct-mount option, including the backplane, core module, and I/O modules.
Attaching the Side Panels to a Custom
Interface Board
- Insert and tighten the standoffs to the designated holes on the side brackets.
- Align the standoffs attached to the side brackets to the corresponding mounting holes on the custom interface board.
-
Insert and tighten the screws to the standoffs to affix the side brackets to the custom
interface board.
Note Tighten the screws and standoffs to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- User-Selected Standoffs (x4)
- Side Panels (x2)
- User-Selected Screws (x4)
- User-Defined Custom Interface Board
Attaching the Modules
Before affixing the the modules to the front panel, note each module position. The core module must always be positioned in the Core Slot of the backplane. Serial number labels are provided in the module kits to identify modules on the cable or the assembly. Refer to the Positioning Your TestScale Modules topic for additional information.
- User-Defined Custom Interface Board
- TestScale Core Module
- TestScale I/O Modules (x5)
Attaching the Module Panels
- Align the mounting holes of the module panels to the corresponding mounting holes on the side panels.
-
Insert and tighten the screws to fasten the module panels to the side panels to
secure the modules in place.
Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Screws; M3 x 0.5 x 4 mm Pan Head Phillips (x4)
- Module Panels (x2)
- Module Assembly
Attaching the Backplane
Fasten the Standoffs to the Backplane
- Align the standoffs and provided screws to the designated holes on the rear of backplane.
- Insert and tighten the screws to affix the standoffs to the rear of the
backplane.Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Screws; SS, Pan Head Phillips, M3 x 0.5, 4 mm (x3)
- Backplane
- Standoffs; M3 x 6 mm, F/F (x3)
Affix the Backplane to the Modules
- Align and affix the module connectors to their corresponding backplane connectors.
- Insert and tighten the standoffs in the backplane mounting holes to fasten the
backplane to the fixture.Note Tighten the standoffs to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Standoffs; M3 x 6 mm, M/F (x4)
- Backplane
- Module Assembly
Attaching the Rear Panel
- Align the mounting holes on the rear panel with the corresponding standoffs on the backplane.
-
Insert and tighten the provided screws to fasten the rear panel to the
fixture.
Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Screws; M3 x 0.5 x 4mm Flat (x7)
- Rear Panel
