Introducing the PXe-964i High Voltage Switching System
Even if you have to hi-pot an 8 pin connector, a 64 conductor cable or an entire tray of SMD capacitors – the PXe-964i High Voltage Switching System has the capacity to automatically route test points to your tester, so you don’t have to. The 964i is easily configured to handle your test specifications. First, select from 4 different voltage ratings – 3KV, 7KV, 10KV and 15KV. Next, decide on how many cards you need. And finally – choose the input, either + (HV bus) or – (return bus) for each card. It’s that easy.
High Voltage Switching doesn’t get any easier
The 964i is simple to set up. Standard front inputs connect directly to your Hi-pot/Continuity Tester. Up to 60 rear panel terminals connect with your test fixture or DUT. Up to four 964i’s can be controlled directly by a single PXe-95X or PXe-V7X Series Hi-pot Tester or up to 10 via PC through the PXE 964i’s built-in RS232 (serial) port or available GPIB interface. The 964i’s LCD display confirms system status and switch activation at a glance.

The PXe-964i High Voltage Automated Test Switching System routes high voltage test signals and return signals to any desired test points. This unique capability gives you control over each individual relay, unlike typical cable testers which restrict you to a fixed pattern. With available mux cards, you can also access the matrix with other equipment such an LCR meter or DMM. The result is a highly repeatable, rapid switching test system with no operator intervention and fully automated data acquisition. With voltage switching capability up to 15,000 volts or current switching as high as 40 amps. The PXE 964i can handle just about any test requirement that comes along – you will never switch back to manual testing again.
The PXe-964i works well with our PXe-V7x and PXe-95x Series Hi-pot Testers
Complete flexibility. The user can order custom combinations of relay cards, terminals and wiring. Up to64 relays and 65 terminals can be installed in a single chassis.
Front Panel Connections for easy connection to a PX Electronic’s 95x series, V7X series, 944i or V seriesHigh Voltage Safety analyzer. Optional rear panel terminals available also.
Easy Debugging when Programming. The presently commanded relay states are available on the frontpanel display, making debugging a safety test procedure easy. The user is also able to manually controlthe relays.
Self-Testing. Continuously checks that each relay is being driven according to the last received command.A hardware failure in the 964i is detected and an error is raised. Continuously checks that sufficient DCpower is applied to the relays to ensure correct operation.
Reliable high speed operation. Relay states can be changed in as little as 5ms; the 964i automaticallyprovides all of the required timing.
Warns when maintenance is required. Accumulates counts of relay operations for each relay and warnsthe user if any relay is approaching (or beyond) its life expectancy.
High voltage and current capability. Relay Cards up to 15KV are available. Relay Cards up to 40Arms areavailable. Both high voltage and high current relay cards can be in the same 964i.
Can be controlled directly by a PX 944i, 95x, or V7X series Safety Tester. The 95x and V7X series cancontrol up to 4 964i’s.
QuickTest Pro software available for the PC for total system control; 95x, V7X, or V series Safety Testerand up to 16 964i’s.
Choice of interfaces. The standard 964i comes with RS232 and VICL interfaces, the user can add anoptional GPIB interface.
Each PXe-964i is custom manufactured to user requirements. Consult the relay and terminal configuration document supplied with the specific 964i for details regarding relay content, terminal configuration and internal wiring.
HV SERIES The HV series cards are 8:1, 4:1, 2:1, dual 4:1 and dual 2:1 multiplexing cards handling low currents at voltages up to 7, 10 or 15KVdc or 5, 7 or 10KVrms. Figure 1 shows the configurations available (other configurations are available, contact PX Electronics with your specific requirements).
As standard, cards are populated from the lowermost numbered relay positions upwards. Dual multiplex cards use the lowermost four positions for one multiplexer and the uppermost four for the other.
Except for the MX2 series cards, as standard the individual multiplex connections are on terminals with the same number as the relay. A letter can be appended to the end of the part number indicating the colour of the terminal (R = red, B = black or W = white).
For the MX2 series cards, as standard the individual multiplex connections are on the front panel terminals (HV and SENSE+).
The common connection to each multiplexer is connected to a user specified point (e.g. a terminal or an internal bussed connection).
