Introduction

1.1 General Description

The 960CI-200 series Communications Isolator is designed for use in Victoreen’s 960 Digital Radiation Monitoring
System for Class 1E applications. Its function is to isolate the safety related monitor from a commercially rated
computer both electrically and mechanically. The monitor transmits data serially to the 960CI isolator through a fiber
optic cable. Figure 1-1 is a block diagram of the Communications Isolator Module.

1.2 Application

The 960CI-200 series Communications Isolator Module is used for communication isolation whenever a safety related
monitor needs to be connected to a computer. This isolation is for the serial asynchronous communication link. The
960CI is designed for use with the 960IC Card Cage Assembly, which holds up to 8 960CI modules.

1.3 Specifications

General specifications for the 960CI-200 Communications Isolator Module are listed below. The module (960CI-200)
is only available rated for nuclear safety-related applications. However, the module may also be used in commercial
applications.

The 960CI-200 module is assembled by techniques and with parts selected for the reliability required in a nuclear
application. Any repairs made to the nuclear rated module will void its safety-related rating. The module (960CI-200)
must be returned to the factory for authorized qualified ANSI 45.2.6, 1978, Skill
Level II service.

Specifications:

Dimensions (H x W x D) 12in x 6.5in x 1in (304.8mm x 156.2mm x 25.4mm)
Weight 1 lb., 9 oz. (708.74g)

Operating Temperature 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C)
Relative Humidity 0 to 95% noncondensing
Power + 5 VDC @ 500mA, 115 VAC
Isolation Optical, 50 kV minimum
Processor Motorola 6809

WRITE reset
Channel ID 32 codes, switch selectable
Communication One way optical serial line to a safety related monitor;
two way serial link to a computer
Baud Rates See Table 4-2
