The front boards are cooled by forced air convection through 3 speed controlled
24 VDC axial fans.
•7 U System: each fan 170 m³/h (100 cfm).
•8 U System: each fan 237 m³/h (140 cfm).
The fans are assembled on the bottom-hinged rear panel.
The air enters the subrack at the lower front into the bott om air plenum and turns
90° upward. As the air passes across the hot components on the Front Boards,
heat is carried away by forced convection. The air exits the Subrack a t th e top,
is drawn into the upper plenum, turns 90°, and is exhausted out the rear of the
subrack by fans.
The fan speed is controlled by the Fan Control Module (FCM) depending on the
exhaust temperature. The average temperature increase at full load is 10 K.
Caution!
To maintain proper airflow, all open slots must be covered with filler panels.
The filler panel should include an airflow baffle that extends to backplane.
•Monitors the signals from up to four temperature sensors
•Controls the Display Module
•Speed up the fans in case of a failure of one fan
•Is able to communicate with the optional Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM)
Up to four NTC temperature sensors can be connected to the FCM. The highest
temperature level is the reference for the fan speed. If one ore more sensors
exceed 60° C the output for the temperature fail LED and a digital output are
activated. Since the fan speed is temperature controlled by the FCM, the fans
rotate with the lowest speed possible. Lower speeds reduce acoustic noise and
increase the longevity of the fans.
The FCM also controls a Display Module. 3 green LEDs signal the 3 VME
voltages, two red LEDs signal over-temperature and fan fail events.

DC
The CMM can monitor the 3 VME voltages and two additional voltages (up to
±24 V
). The error status can be displayed by LEDs, through the RS-232 serial
DC
interface or via ethernet as a HTML page.
Up to 7 NTC temperature sensors can be connected to the CMM.Two alarm
thresholds between 20° C and 70° C can be set.
The CMM provides 16 digital inputs and 10 digital outputs for custom specific
applications. Four digital outputs are open collector outputs, isolated by optocouplers, six digital outputs are TTL-compatible non-isolated.
The CMM is connected to the FCM. The temperature values and the fan speeds
are transferred to the CMM.
For more information see the CMM’s User Manual, Order No.: 73972-084 and
at www.schroff.biz
The Display Module is located at the upper front side of the subrack. 3 green
LEDs signal the 3 VME voltages, two red LEDs signal over-temperature and fan
fail events.
The Display Module is controlled by the FCM.
When a CMM is present, the Display Module is controlled by the CMM.
When opening the shipping carton, use caution to avoid damaging the system.
Consider the following when unpacking and storing the system:
•Leave the system packed until it is needed for immediate installation.
•After unpacking the system, save and store the packaging material in case
the system must be returned.
If the packaging is damaged and possible system damage is present, report to
the shipper and analyze the damage.
3.1.1 Ensuring Proper Airflow
•Install the system in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an
enclosed rack is unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
•Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an over temperature condition
can occur.
•Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through
the systems.
•Use filler panels to cover all empty chassis slots. The filler panel prevents
fan air from escaping out of the front of an open slot.
Caution!
To maintain proper airflow, all open slots must be covered with filler panels.
The filler panel should include an airflow baffle that extends to backplane.
Voltages over 60 VDC can be present in this equipment. This equipment is
intended to be accessed, to be installed and maintained by qualified and
trained service personnel only.
This eqipment is designed in accordance with protection class 1!
It must therefore be operated only with protective GND/earth connection!
Before starting the system with VME boards the following tests have to be done:
•Ensure that the unit does not get damaged during tranport.
•Check the Protective Earth (PE) resistance, should be < 0,1 Ohm.
•Switch on the system and check all VME voltages on the Backplane
connectors before you plug in the VME boards.
Note: The +12 V output requires 10% minimum load, i.e. a resistor
12 Ohm / 12 W.
•Plug in the VME boards.
•Cover all open Slots with filler panels.
•Tighten the rear panel mounting screws.
•Power-on the system and determine the actual current consumtion.
•Replace the mains fuses suitable to the actual current.
The fuse value has been determined in factory for the maximum power
delivered by the power supply. The fuse value must be adjusted to the actual
current consumtion of the completed system.
Maximum values are 8 A slow (MP4) or 10 A slow (MP6).

.
As it is defined in the EMC standard, it is not designated as a device.
A CE symbol is therefore not required. However, the systems comply with all
requirements. Each individual component complies to the EMC standard
89/336/EWG and to the low frequency standard 73/23/EWG.
These systems are generally equiped with power supplies having the
CE symbol (EN 60950, EN 61000-6-3, EN 61000-6-2).
The choice of the mains filter is carried out by considering the limited values‘
curve, according to EN 55022 class B.
To warrant the interference immunity according to EN 61000-6-2, the shielding
attenuation is measured in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz
according to VG 95 373, Part 15.
The systems are developped and manufactured according to EN 60950. Highvoltage tests, protective earth tests and functions tests are done on each series
system.
