Selection Guidelines & Precautions
-
Application Verification – Designed for precision instrumentation with industrial analytics.
-
Physical Compatibility – 6HP wide, requires 1.5 adjacent slots.
-
Backplane Compatibility – Uses P1 and P2. If backplane lacks P2, analytics features unavailable.
-
Temperature Compensation – Requires 30‑minute warm‑up to achieve specified temperature coefficient.
-
Thermal Derating – Full output to 50°C; derate to 90% at 50–55°C, 80% at 55–60°C.
-
Spare Sourcing – Production ended in 2010. Request test report verifying outputs, analytics functions, and temperature stability. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration. Prioritize this over baseline NTIA for applications requiring higher capacity.
