Introducing the SLICE Distributor
The SLICE Distributor serves as a single interface supporting power, Ethernet communications and status signals for an extended SLICE system. It supports in excess of 200 channels via 4 SLICE MICRO/NANO chains (4 stacks per chain), and is designed to integrate in-dummy and withstand high shock environments.
• Rated for 500 g dynamic testing environments.
• Supports >200 SLICE MICRO/NANO DAS channels via 4 SLICE system connectors.
• Supports an input range of 9-18 VDC (15 VDC nominal), 10 A maximum.
• Supports main and battery back-up power inputs.
• Supports Ethernet communications.
• Over- and undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, power input polarity
protection.
• LED indicator provides status information.
• Integral mounting holes.
• Ideal for embedded and in-dummy high channel-count applications.
SLICE Distributor Connector Panel
The ON switch, LED indicator and all connectors are accessible from the front panel. Instructions on how to properly connect cables can be found in the section on Troubleshooting Basics. Connector information and pin assignments can be found in Appendix A. Mechanical specifications are included in Appendix B. Appendix C provides information on the network parameters of your equipment.

LED Indicator
There is 1 LED that provides status information. This LED is an indicator of SLICE Distributor status only; it does not indicate the status of any attached equipment.
A thorough understanding of the LED states will facilitate an efficient approach to troubleshooting and a quick resolution to any problems.
SLICE Distributor Status
Unit off; no input power detected
Unit off; input power detected (input range OK); output power is active
Unit initializing Unit on (input range OK); all outputs active
Input power is overvoltage –or– overcurrent condition is present (If unit is on, cycle power to reset)
On/Off Pushbutton Switch
A momentary pushbutton switch is used for on/off control. When the unit is on (LED is blue), all internal system electronics and output power are energized and the unit is fully functional. (This is the normal operating mode.) When the unit is off, the LED is either green (input power detected) or off (no input power).
SYS and AUX Connectors
The functions available via the SYS and AUX connectors are summarized below.
