Portable PULSE - 3560C
Portable data acquisition unit, up to 17 input channels.
Features
- Houses one input/output module and one controller module
- Robust casing for industrial and hard everyday use
- Rain cover for front panel allows passage of cables
- Battery operated or DC powered (10 – 32 V)
- Cooling fans can be turned off for silent operation (auto-restart if too hot)
- Synchronous sampling with other PULSE front-ends
Type 3560 C is a portable data acquisition system with a battery/ DC powered Type 2827 power supply unit. It can hold any combination of 1 Controller Module and 1 Input/Output Module. The controller module handles communication with the PC while the input/output module handles measurement input and provides a sample clock. As an example, a Type 3560 C fitted with a 5/1-ch. Input/Output Controller Module Type 7537 and a 12-ch. Input Module Type 3038 can measure up to 17 input channels.
Environmental
To survive the harsh electrical environment found in, for example, cars, Type 3560 C has specifications that exceed the European EMC immunity requirements. ISO 7637 1 and 7637– 2 “Road Vehicles Electrical disturbance by conduction and coupling” requirements are met. Mechanical robustness is equally high, meeting MIL STD 810C and IEC 60068 2 6.
Since all portable PULSE systems are built for outdoor use, they meet strict requirements for temperature and humidity. The operating temperature range extends from 10 to +50°C (+14 to 122°F). Type 3560C will withstand rain if kept with the front panel facing upwards and the protection cover in place.
Power Supply
Types 3560 B and 3560C can either be powered by two internal Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries or from a 10 – 32 V DC power supply. A 100 – 240 V AC mains supply unit is included. The unit can be switched on and off from the front panel or, when using more than one front-end in one system, the on/off function can be controlled by another front-end using the Multiframe Control signal. A third possibility is to follow an external DC power supply, so that it switches on when the supply is connected. When batteries are used, indicators on each side of the front panel indicate the condition of the batteries, allowing hot swap without interrupting measurement. When connected to an external DC supply, the batteries are charged automatically.
DC Output
To provide power for accessories such as a LAN switch or wireless LAN for interconnecting
more front-ends, Types 3560 B, C and D have a 5 and 12 V DC output (LEMO FGG.00.302
connector) with fuse. Cables for these accessories must be ordered separately.
Silent Operation, Cooling
Types 3560 C and 3560 D: During operation fans keep the temperature of the unit within
safety limits. In measurement situations where the fan noisea can influence measurement results, the fans can be switched off from the PULSE software. If overheating threatens, the fans are automatically turned on again.
