Assembling the TS-15010
This procedure walks you through assembling the TestScale components for the TS-15010, including the backplane, core module, and I/O modules.
Installing the Modules
- Core Module
- Backplane Assembly
- I/O Modules (x5)
- Core Module (x2)
- Backplane Assembly (x2)
- I/O Modules (x10)
Affixing the Front Panel
Attaching the Front Panel
Before affixing the front panel, note each module position. The core module must always be positioned in the top left slot (Core Slot/slot C). 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.
- Align the mounting holes of the front panel to the corresponding mounting holes on the modules.
- Insert and tighten the standoffs to the corresponding mounting holes on the
modules to fasten the front panel to the modules in the assembly.Note Tighten the standoffs to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Front Panel
- Standoffs; 4-40, 3/16 Long M/F, 3/16 Hex (x12)
- Front Panel
- Standoffs; 4-40, 3/16 Long M/F, 3/16 Hex (x24)
Securing the Front Panel
- Insert and tighten the provided screws to secure the front panel to the
assembly.Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Screws; M3 x 0.5 x 4 mm Flat (x6)
- Screws; M3 x 0.5 x 4 mm Flat (x12)
Attaching the Center Panel (Two-Unit
Configuration)
For two-unit configurations within the test rack, you will need to attach a center support panel to secure the two units together.
- Align the mounting holes of the center support panel to the corresponding mounting holes on the joining sides of the backplane.
-
Insert and tighten the provided screws to fasten the center support panel to
the backplane.
Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Center Panel
- Screws; M3 x 0.5 x 4 mm Flat (x4)
Attaching the Rear Mounting Brackets
- Align the mounting holes of the rear mounting bracket to the corresponding mounting holes on the outer side of the backplane.
-
Insert and tighten the provided screws to fasten the rear mounting bracket(s)
to the backplane.
Note Tighten the screws to 0.60 N · m (5.0 lb · in) of torque.
- Rear Mounting Bracket
- Screws; M3 x 5 mm, Pan Head Phillips (x2)
- Rear Mounting Bracket (x2)
- Screws; M3 x 5 mm, Pan Head Phillips (x4)
