VPX 6U Load Board

Load boards are essential in keeping any system in top running shape. As a full-system provider, Hartmann strives to not only provide the systems you need, but the supporting hardware as well.

The load board switches itself off at a temperature on the topside of the load test card or in a rack at 120 degrees Celcius +/- 5K. Once cooled, it turns itself back on. The incoming voltage levels for the voltages 5V, 12V, +12V-AUX, -12V-AUX, and +3.3V-AUX can be measured close to the plugs P0 and P1. These measuring points are run via the plug X1 on the front. 4 temperature measuring points are attached to the load test card: On the front side, at bottom and top. These connections are also run via the plug X1.

Voltage and Temperature Measurement

4 PTC resistors (TMP300 IC); one each at the front at bottom and top as well as rear top and bottom, analog output 10mV/°C (typical 750mV ±30mV at 25°C), Optional DVM plug-on board, Voltage and temperature sense lines are connected to 2 x 8 pin header (X1 connector) on front panel, Voltage levels for 5V, 12V, 3.3V, +12V_AUX, -12V_AUX, and +3.3V_AUX are sensed close to P0/P1

Thermal Protection

Automatic shut-off if any temperature is exceeding 120°C (+/-5K), Re-energizing after cooling down

Status LED

Bicolor for status good (green) and over-temp (red)
