General Description
Bi Ra Model 6700-SCB is a powered CAMAC crate which fully complies with CAMAC specification IEEE-583. This model was designed to meet the users' changing needs and requirements by providing the user a responsive, low cost modular unit. The Model 6700 is made up of three basic components: the crate, the 700 Watt power supply, and the six fan blower.
Crate Description
The crate incorporates the CAMAC dataway with an 86-contact PC edge connector soldered at each station. The crate supports the rear mounted power supply module and houses the removable blower unit. The crate assembly is constructed of reinforced steel and designed for convenience and serviceability. Both the blower unit and power supply can be detached without removing the crate from the rack. Electroless nickel-plated guide rails insure smooth alignment and minimize air obstruction for cooling of the modules.
Power Supply Description
The Model 6700 Power Supply employs the Ferro-Resonant transformer and Darlington transistors to achieve higher efficiency and reliability. The power supply is modular in construction, single connector attachment, and automatically latches into position. The power supply is self-ventilated by a large internal blower (rated at 21 0 CFM) to maximize cooling area and air flow in order to enhance performance and reliability. The power supply outputs are protected from over-voltage and over- current. Additional features include handles for maneuverability and safety, also instant visibility and easy access to all fuses.
Blower Description
The front-removable six fan blower unit features low-vibration, low-noise, and venturi-type ball-bearing fans to provide good
air flow and maximum module ventilation. The blower unit and crate side panels were concurrently designed to insure
maxium air-intake.This design allows the user the versatility to use the powered crate as a bench top or rackmounting it. The
three large air intake ports house the dust filters which can be removed in seconds without any tools. Front panel indicators
include over-temperature warning, a switch-selected digital meter for monitoring all voltages and currents, and voltage test
points.
