This is a Performance Specication. It is not intended to be used as Operating
Instructions.
General Description: The Model M-12C detector card rack is designed to hold a Reno
A&E Model Q-4 power supply and ten (10) Reno A&E single width, two or four channel
detectors or twelve (12) Reno A&E single width, two or four channel detectors. Reno
A&E MH series wiring harnesses are available to simplify connections between the
M-12C and other components in the cabinet.
Card Rack Connectors (Power Supply and Detectors): PC board mounted 2 x 22
contact edge card connectors with 0.156 inch (0.396 cm.) contact centers. Connector
pin assignments are per NEMA TS1.
Back Plane Connector (Power Supply Input): 10 pin, dual row, female header, 0.165
inch (0.420 cm.) pitch with gold plated contacts. (Molex p/n 39-31-0108 or equivalent).
Mates with Molex p/n 39-01-2105 or equivalent. (See Pin Assignments - Power Supply
Inputs table.)
Back Plane Connectors (Detector Inputs and Outputs): 10 pin / 8 pin, dual row,
female header, 0.165 inch (0.420 cm.) pitch with gold plated contacts (Molex p/n 3931-0108 / 39-31-0088 or equivalent). Mates with Molex p/n 39-01-2105 / 39-01-2085 or
equivalent. (See Pin Assignments - Detector Inputs and Outputs tables.)
Back Plane Connector (Communications): 10 pin, dual row, female header, 0.165 inch
(0.420 cm.) pitch with gold plated contacts (Molex p/n 39-31-0108 or equivalent). Mates
with Molex p/n 39-01-2105 or equivalent. (See Pin Assignments - Communications
table.)
Ruggedized Construction: The M-12C housing is fabricated from 0.062 inch thick
aluminum. The printed circuit board is 0.062 inch thick FR4 material with 2 oz. copper
on both sides and plated through holes. Circuit board components are conformal coated
with polyurethane.
Operating Temperature: -40º F to +180º F (-40º C to +82º C).
Weight: 4.38 lb (1.987 kg).
Size: 6.27 inches (15.93 cm) high x 15.20 inches (38.61 cm) wide x 7.58 inches (19.25
cm) deep (excluding mounting anges). Mounting anges add 1.50 inches (3.81 cm.) to
the width measurement.
