Multiple Units 

Most applications will require more than one 

MiniModule, which can include any of the 
available Series 3000 MiniModule product range. 

There are two options for mounting multiple units. 

 
a)

 

Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame option. This 

allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be 

secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch 

rack mounting. The R PS 3001 power brick 

option or the R FR 3010 option is required to 

power each module. Please refer to the R FR 
3005 Reference Manual for more details. 

 
b)

 

Using the R FR 3010 Rack frame extension 

option. Can be combined with the R FR 3005 

Rack frame option. Each module plugs into a 
connection bus, which provides common 

power for all modules. (no R PS external power 

supplies are needed). Remote control and 
status monitoring of all modules is possible with 

the addition of the R CT 5020 rack controller 

and R CT 5030 master controller options. Please 
refer to the respective reference manuals for 

these options for details of mechanical 

installation. 

 

The very small size and density of the MiniModules 

combined with the available rack frame options 
allows the addition of a complex and custom signal 

distribution system without taking any additional 

front rack space. The rack frames are designed for 
installation in the back of 19-inch racks where there 

is normally plenty of available space. Ideal for 

mobile truck installations and facility expansions 
where space is at a premium.
