Warning pilot lamp is illuminated if the power supply temperature rises to within 20 C of the maximum safe operating temperature When the maximum safe temperature is reached an internal cutout in the power supply removes power and neither lamp will be illuminated TEST JACKS Located on the panel allow convenient checking of the power supply voltages from the front panel without disassembly of the supply 4 2 POWER SUPPLY LIMITATIONS The available current at each voltage is dependent on the power supply Since the requirements of TID 20893 Rev have been changed from time to time the actual capability of any given power supply will depend on its date of manufacture The instruction manual for the particular power supply in use should be consulted The power requirements of individual modules are stated on their front panels The user should verify that the power supply capability is not exceeded in any given system in one bin 4 3 INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF MODULES No damage will result to the power supply from insertion or removal of modules while power is on However since the sequence of power application to amodule is indeterminate when inserted with bin power on it is prudent to turn off the bin power when modules are being changed or inserted BIN MODULE CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR STANDARD NUCLEAR INSTRUMENT MODULES PER DOE ER 0457T Pin Function 1 3 volts 2 3 volts 3 Spare Bus 4 Reserved Bus 5 Coaxi

7. d as Standards in TID 20893 Rev there are Preferred Practices which deal with subsidiary matters in the interest of suggested further compatibility Included in the Preferred Practices are standard linear and logic signal parameters which if observed allow compatible interconnections between instruments 1 2 ORTEC MODULAR INSTRUMENTS ORTEC Modular Nuclear Instruments conforming to the standards of TID 20893 Rev are designed for insertion and operation in a 4001A bin with an attached mating power supply In addition to meeting the basic requirements of TID 20893 Rev each ORTEC module also provides two additional compatibility features 1 Where applicable the standard linear and logic signal parameters of the Preferred Practices of TID 20893 Rev are used providing compatible interconnections between instruments 2 The power supply demand of any given ORTEC module is generally limited to no more than its proportional share of the occupancy of bin space In this way the user does not have to compute the power supply total demand and compare this to the capability of the supply These ORTEC instrument modules are made only in the 8 3 4 in high standard module package The panel space requirements of this type of research instrumentation have precluded the use of the smaller 5 1 4 in standard height 1 3 ORTEC 4001A MODULAR SYSTEM BIN The ORTEC 4001A Modular System Bin provides mounting space for 12 standard
