Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumentation. Although some in­struments and accessories would normally be used with non-haz­ardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions may be present.
This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recog­nize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions re­quired to avoid possible injury. Read the operating information carefully before using the product.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the use
and maintenance of equipment, for ensuring that the equipment is operated within its specifications and operating limits, and for en­suring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators use the product for its intended function. They must be
trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instru­ment. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with hazardous live circuits.
Maintenance personnel perform routine procedures on the product
to keep it operating, for example, setting the line voltage or replac­ing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in the manual. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may per­form them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by service personnel.
Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, and perform
safe installations and repairs of products. Only properly trained ser­vice personnel may perform installation and service procedures.
Users of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body must ensure that users are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product users in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating at or above 1000 volts, no conductive part of the circuit may be
exposed.
As described in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter measuring circuits (e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010) are Installation Category II. All other instruments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and must not be connected to mains.
Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits. They are intended to be used with impedance limited sources. NEV ­ER connect switching cards directly to A C mains. When connecting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to limit fault current and voltage to the card.
Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is connect­ed to a properly grounded power receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instruments while power is applied to the circuit under test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jump­ers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V RMS, 42.4V peak, or 60VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect
that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit bef ore measuring.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accordance with its specifications and operating instructions or the safety of the equip­ment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and ac­cessories, as defined in the specifications and operating informa­tion, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, or switching card.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for measuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is ap­plied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use of a lid interlock.
If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground using the wire recommended in the user documentation.
!
The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should re­fer to the operating instructions located in the manual.
The symbol on an instrument shows that it can source or mea­sure 1000 volts or more, including the combined effect of normal and common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.
The WARNING heading in a manual explains dangers that might result in personal injury or death. Alw ays read the associated infor­mation very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.
The CAUTION heading in a manual explains hazards that could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.
Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instru­ments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals, may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component. (Note that se­lected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you are unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for information.
T o clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based clean­er. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill on the in­strument. Products that consist of a circuit board with no case or chassis (e.g., data acquisition board for installation into a computer) should never require cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the board should be returned to the factory for proper cleaning/servic­ing.

Introduction
System 40 Custom Coaxial RF Signal Routing Systems provide an integrated signal routing solution designed and built to cus­tomer specifications. The System 40 typically includes a Keithley Model 7001 or 7002 switch control unit, microwave coaxial switches, a power supply , and a 19-inch rack mount assembly. The IEEE-488 compatible switch controller operates the coaxial switches and provides an easy to read display of switch status. Switch control algorithms are pre-programmed and stored in the switch control unit’s non-volatile memory at the factory. If desired, the switch system can be reconfigured by reprogramming the controller for new applications.
Due to the custom nature of the System 40, this Instruction Manual contains general system instructions. Specific information for your system is provided in the as-built documentation package.
System 40 documentation consists of:
• System 40 Custom Coaxial RF Signal Routing Systems Instruction Manual
• Model 7001 or 7002 Switch System Manual
• Additional Keithley standard product manuals per system configuration
• As-built documentation package including: — Component list

Shelf mount
Rack preparation
1. Select a position in the rack. In most cases, the weight of the System 40 dictates a position in the lower half of the rack. The System 40 typically takes up 10.5” of vertical space.
NOTE
2. Install chassis support assemblies in the rack and secure them.
3. Lift the System 40 onto the chassis supports and slide it into the rack.
4. The chassis can be secured to the front rack flanges with binder head screws.
System earth ground installation
1. Remove all power from the system.
2. Connect the loose end of the six foot green/yellow ground cable to a quality ground located within your facility using the #10 screw provided.
The chassis must be mounted at a height that is an increment of 1
¾
from the top or bottom of the rack. Attempting to mount the mainfr ame at a non-incremental height will lead to dif­ficulties with hole alignment.

Installation
Power and control connections
Line power, switch control signals and computer control signals must be connected prior to system operation. RF switch control signals are connected from the 7020-MWS\QCC switch card, installed in the 7001/2 mainframe, to the System 40 chassis mounted RF switch terminals using a ribbon cable terminated with a 96-pin DIN connector. One piece System 40’s may be shipped from the factory with this cable connected, two piece systems must be connected after rack installation. The ribbon cable 96-pin DIN connector label identifies the mating 7020-MWS connector. Secure the connectors by tightening the two cap­tive mounting screws located on the ribbon cable connector.
WARNING
CAUTION
5. Connect Model 7001 or 7002 line power and IEEE-488 interface cable as described in the Switch System Manual.
6. Connect the RF switch power supply line cord to the same AC power source circuit as the switch mainframe.
Before beginning any wiring procedures, make sure all power is off.
96-pin DIN connectors must be securely fastened to the 7020-MWS card or damage to the card may occur.
Coaxial cable installation
System 40 is configured with RF and microwav e connectors suitable for the specified operating frequency range. Mating connec­tors must be clean, must meet connector type interface specifications, and must be tightened to the appropriate torque specification.
WARNING
CAUTION
Contact with exposed conductors carrying RF power may cause burns. Place protec­tive caps on all unused switch inputs. All cables and connectors should be properly mated and shielded.
Mating connectors with out of tolerance pin depths may destroy the connector. Verify pin depth before mating connectors.
Coaxial connector cleaning
Connector interfaces must be free of foreign material to prevent performance degradation. Visually inspect the connector using a 4X to 10X magnifying lens. Try to blow foreign material off the connector using canned air. (Canned air is recommended due to the presence of moisture and oils in air supplied by standard industrial compressors.) Use a lint free miniature cleaning swab moistened with clean isopropyl alcohol to wipe off any remaining foreign material.
Coaxial connector mating
1. Remove all power to the system before installing cables.
2. Connect cables to System 40 connectors and tighten using a Type-N connectors may be connected finger tight. Refer to as-built documentation for other connector types.
CAUTION

Operation
Introduction
System 40 Custom Microwave Switch Systems are derived from the Keithley Model 7116-MWS. Because each System 40 is unique, the 7116-MWS will be used to represent a typical configuration for switch system operating principles and troubleshoot­ing procedures.
The Model 7116-MWS system is a 16-input microwav e multiplexer . Sixteen inputs are achieved by connecting five single-pole, four-throw switches together forming a tree switching network as shown in Figure 2-1.

Output patterns for each input are stored in the Model 7001 memory at the factory. The user can call up memory locations to select each input. For example, calling up memory location 1 selects input 1. Some programming examples are listed below.
PRINT #1,"output 7; :close (@ 1!1,1!21)" 'Channels select input 1 PRINT #1,"output 7; :close (@ M1)" 'Memory location 1 selects input 1
NOTE
For further information on operation and programming, refer to the Models 7001 and 7020 Instruction Manuals.
Information stored in non-volatile memory will be lost if power is applied to the switch mainframe when switch car ds, such as the 7020-MWS, have been remo ved. To assure mem­ory remains as factory programmed, never power up the mainframe with a switch card re­moved.
In either configuration of the Model 7116-MWS, as one 1 rigid jumper cables removed, as five 1 closed per relay, and that no more than two relays are energized simultaneously per bank.

Switch life
The life of a switch is usually specified in cycles, that is the number of times it switches from one position to another and back. System 40 RF switches have liv es from one-million to ten-million (1,000,000 to 10,000,000) cycles per switch position without noticeable performance degradation.
NOTE
That is:
• No intermittent contacts
• Less than 0.1 dB increase in insertion loss
• Less than 0.3 ohm increase in DC contact resistance
Cold switching (no RF power applied), hot switching (RF power applied) may rapidly degrade switch performance.
