Reference Manual C DA 3000 Version 2.0

The module has a built in micro-controller with local controls, status and alarm indicators and well as internal flash ram for storing setups. Any operational parameters configured and stored into the module are recalled when powered up. Remote control and remote status monitoring is possible when used with the rack frame option and host controller.

The C DA 3000 is part of the 3000 series of MiniModules, which offer high quality, modularity and flexibility in a very small form factor ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

The modules can be used either stand alone using the optional power supply brick, or as part of a tightly integrated space saving system where up to 10 MiniModules can be mounted utilizing the optional LYNX R FR 3005 / 3010 rack housing. This includes integrated power supply and optional remote control interfaces.
