RF Switching Precautions
The SCXI-119X are reflective switches, meaning that any channels not
switched to the common channel are unterminated, and any signal on an
unterminated channel is reflected to its source. For most low-power
switching applications, this reflectionis not a problem. However, operation
with an unterminated output can damage some high-power RF sources.
Consult your RF source documentation for more information about
connecting to unterminated channels.
Warning
Do not exceed the channel-to-ground rating of 24 V
rms
or DC on the SCXI-1190,
30 V
rms
or DC for the SCXI-1191, or 30 V
rms
or DC for the SCXI-1192. Any connections
that exceed the maximum voltage for the SCXI-119X can result in an electrical shock
hazard and damage to the switch module and any or all of the modules connected to the
SCXIbus
