GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Model 7053 is a high current scanner card with the maximum capabilities of 3OOV. 5A or lOOV*A switching Iresistive load onlyl. Signal levels of this magnitude may be found in applications such as power semiconductor testing. The Model 7053 can also be used in monitoring currents from DC power supplies in general purpose ATE bench or laboraton, applications. For easy input and output wiring the Model 7053 is designed with quick disconnect screw terminals. Each channel has a HI and LO connection with a common guard. Each of the 10 channels consist of a single Z-pole Form C relay.

The card is field installable in an appropriate Keithley .scanner mainframe (e.g.

Model 7051 via the mainframe’s rear panel. Channel switching is accomplished in less than 15msec (exclusive of mainframe) and the specified relay life is greater than IO’closures (greater than IO5 closures at maximum signal levels).

With the Model 7053’s high channel isolation (>lO%l), it is well insulated from

cross channel noise and interference. The Model 7053’s high input isolation l>lO%l reduces loading to a minimum.

1.2 WARRANTY INFORMATION

Warranty information is stated on the inside front cwer of this manual. If there

is a need for service, contact the Keithley representative or authorized repair

facility in your area. Check the back cover of this manual for addresses. The service form supplied at the end of the manual should be used to provide the

repair facility with adequate information concerning any difficulty.

SECTION 2

OPERATION

2.1 INTRODUCTION This section provides the necessary information to use the Model 7053 with an

appropriate Keithley scanner mainframe fsuch as the Model 705). Once the card is installed in the scanner mainframe, refer to the scanner mainframe’s instruction manual for complete operating instructions.

2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. DO not exceed the Model 7053’s maximum allowable signal level as defined in the specifications.

2. Do not exceed the maximum common mode voltage of 300V as defined in the specifications. Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present at the terminals. The American National Standard lnstituto (ANSI) states

that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V rms or

42.4V peak are present.

3. Make sure the scanner mainframe is grounded through a properly earth

grounded receptacle before operation.

4. Turn off all power supplies and discharge any residual power before install-

ing or removing the Model 7053 from the scanner mainframe or wires from the terminals of the Model 7053.

5. Use appropriately rated wire when switching high current.

6. Read this manual carefully and ahere to all the safety precautions listed

before operating the instrument.

7. lnspsct all test connections for wear or defects such as cracks, exposed

wires, etc. Correct any defect found before operating the instrument.

2.3 WIRING

Each channel on the Model 7053 high current card consists of a single Z-pole Form C relay. The Model 7053 will switch any one of the 10 signals linputsl tq one output. or switch one signal to any one of 10 outputs.

1. Wiring is accomplised by means of quick disconnect screw terminals as

shown on the component layout (Figure 61.

2. Resistance of the relay contacts fterminalsl is less than 150mR

3. Use wires or cables that are rated for maximum signal levels. The maximum

allowable wire size is No. 18 AWG. When operating at high current levels (e.g. Amps) consider the voltage burden (IoR drop1 of the wire or cable being used. For example: The approximate resistance of 18 gusge copper wire is 6,3mQ/ft. The voltage burden is approximately 6.3mVlhlAmp. At the maximum signal current of 5 Amps the voltage burden would be 31 .SmV/ft. If the wire being used is 3ft long the voltage burden of the wire is approximately O.lV.

4. Route the wires or cables through the rubber clamps at the rear of the card.

2.4 INSTALLATION Refer to the scanner mainframe’s instruction manual for installation instwc-

tions.

2.5 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS Signal Level-The maximum signal levels that the Model 7053 high current

card operates at are 300V maximum, 6A or lOOVA peak iresistive load only). The contact life of the relays at maximum signal levels is greeter than lo5 operations.

NOTE Maximum signal specifications apply to scanner output as well as inputs. For example, multiple channel closures cannot put more than 5A onto the output.

WARNING When switching signals greater than 30V rms or 42.4V rms peak take care to prevent contact with live circuits which could cause electrical shock resulting in injury or death.

Cables-Sheilded cables should be used with the Model 7053 high current card and when switching above 5OV or high current. The shield should be connected to circuit guard. This helps prevent excessive radiation from the cables from interfering with any equipment. The cable rating must exceed the maximum allowable signal levels as defined in the specifications.

External Considerations-The Model 7053 is specified for a resistive load, however, external circuit capacitances and inductances can cause excessive currents and voltages across the relay contacts. The currents and voltages must be limited to within the maximum allowable signal levels.

1. Capacitance-Charged capacitances in the circuit can cause excessive currents (surge currents) to flow through the relay contacts if the source i8 shorted out or the output is switched to capacitive loads. This excessive current can weld the relay contacts together. Therefore, use series resistors, where needed, to limit the maximum current that can flow to within contact ratings. The maximum signal levels are stated in the specifications.

2. Inductance-The inductance of cables can produce high voltage and arcing across relay contacts when switching. The peak transients must be limited to within the maximum signal levels as defined in the specifications.

2.6 MODEL 7053 MODIFICATION

Unselected inputs on the Model 7053 high current scanner card, are shorted (HI to LO) via installed jumpers (WlOl-WllO). If isolation is required between channel LO and channel HI. the Model 7053 can be modified to disconnect channel LO from channel HI when a relay is off lopenl. The modification involves removing a jumper wire for the channel that is to be modified. For example, remove jumper WlOl to disconnect channel l’s HI terminal from channel l’s LO terminal. Refer to the component layout (Figure 6) for jumper lxxtion.

It is recommended to remove the jumpers by cutting them with a pair of wire CUttOE.

2.7 SWITCH TERMINOLOGY

Throughout this manual the terminology Form C is used. The term Form C is used in switch terminology and is described 88 follows:

1. Form A is simply a slngle pole normally open /SPNOl switch (refer to Figure

11.. A 2-p&1 switch normally open 18 classified 8~ 8 2 Form A.

2. Form FJ is similar to Form A except that its contacts are normally closed (refer to Figure 1 I. A 2-pole switch normally closed is classified as a 2 Form

3. Form C is shown in Figure 1 as a single pole double throw switch. It could

also be B multiple switch such as a Z-pole which would be,classified 88 a 2

Form C.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This section contains B performance verification procedure. Since there are no calibration adjustments. no recalibration is necessary. Recommended maintenance would include inspection of the scanner plug-in board and card edge connector to ensure good el8ctric.4 contact. The verification procedure should be performed upon receiving the Model 7053 or at the time maintenance is performed on the mainframe.

3.2 REDUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT

Recommended test equipment for performance verification is given in Table 1. Test equipment other than the recommended equipment in Table 1 may be substituted if specifications equal or exceed the stated characteristics.
