Automatic module recognition
Whether a module is mounted by the manufacturer or by you, the switch unit automatic
recognizes the module type, as described in
Chapter 2.1.13, "Checking the Installed
Module dimensions
The various modules occupy a
width of 1, 2 or 3 slots
in a 2-HU switch unit.
●
The size of a one-slot module's panel (H x W) is 65.5
mm x 107.6
mm
●
The size of a two-slot (double-width) module's panel is 65.5
mm x 216.2
mm
●
The size of a three-slot (triple-width) module's panel is 65.5
mm x 324.8
mm
The depth of the modules is given as "Dimension (D)" in the data sheet. Most modules
are 54
mm to 88
mm deep.
Deep modules
The following standard modules are significantly deeper than the others:
●
The R&S
OSP-B104 has a depth of
265
mm
●
The R&S
OSP-B106 has a depth of
152
mm
●
The R&S
OSP-PM-I has a depth of approximately
200
mm
(with cable loop)
The module R&S
OSP-B104 occupies more than half of the depth of the switch unit.
Therefore, in a slot
opposite
of it (front versus rear), you
cannot install
another
R&S
OSP-B104
or a
R&S
OSP-PM-I
into the same switch unit. Anyway, the module
R&S
OSP-B104 must be mounted by Rohde
&
Schwarz service. If you mount the mod-
ule R&S
OSP-PM-I, mount it opposite of a shorter module or opposite of a blank plate.
You cannot mount any deep module into a satellite switch unit R&S
OSP-B200S2, as
this unit is not deep enough. Also, you cannot mount any three-slot (triple-width) mod-
ules into a satellite switch unit. Mounting RF feedthrough panels R&S
OSP-B011 or
R&S
OSP-B012 into a satellite switch unit makes no sense.
To mount a module into a switch unit
1.
WARNING!
The following procedure requires partly opening the switch unit's cas-
ing. Doing so while the power is on can lead to electric shock. See
Before mounting a module:
a) Shut down the switch unit, see
b) Set the power switch to position [0] (
c) Disconnect the power cable.
2. Optionally disconnect all other cables, too.
3. Select a slot, ideally covered by a blank plate, for mounting the new module on the
front or rear side of the switch unit.
If no blank plate is available, consider removing an existing module, instead.
