The AP- Series Portanims are attractive, compact, portable NIM compatible
bins with self-contained power supplies. Three models are available: The AP-1
holds up to four single-width modules or their equal; the AP-2H and AP-3 can
hold six singles or combinations of larger module sizes equivalent to six.
Portanims are aesthetically designed to give a finished and pleasing benchtop
instrument appearance to plug-in modules. They can be used for BNC modular
digital delay generators, trigger pulse amplifiers, pulse generators, programming
interfaces and the NIM-style plug-in instruments of other manufacturers. The
units provide significant savings in cost, space and weight over standard
12-width NIM bin/ power supplies when instrumentation setups consisting of
only one or several modules are needed.
Power combinations of ±6 V and ±12 V or ±12 V and ± 24 V or ±6 V, ±12 V and
±24 V are available. AC 117 V power for modules that may require it is also
provided. The supplies conform to the specifications of AEC report TID-20893
(Rev. 3) except for maximum current ratings, since they hold fewer modules.
| The AP-Series Portanims can be handily carried about in the laboratory
or field. Each model can be set down on its back or bottom. A foldout
bale allows tilting up on the bench and the sturdy carrying handle swings
out of the way when not in use. A covered compartment at the rear allows
storage for line cord, signal cables, etc., and gives access to instruments'rear
panel controls.
Before selecting a Portanim model, the user should check the DC voltage
requirements of the module(s) to be installed. If future needs may involve
installing unforeseen modules, getting the AP-3, with its full complement
of six DC outputs, will assure accomodating any other NIM-type instruments.
BNC-blue painted blank panels are available to cover unused module
cavities. The part numbers are: Single-width P/N 6823; Double-width
P/N 6824; Triple-width P/N 6826. Empty modules in various sizes are
available for OEMs or others who wish to design plug-in instruments
for Portanims. Contact BNC for source information on modules in bulk
or kit form.
