Terminal Blocks......................19 Overview This document contains information about the SLSC-12251 (16 channel, 8 amperes) and SLSC-12252 (8 channel, 30 amperes) Fault Insertion Units (FIU). The SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 are switch matrices with current monitoring, which allows for connections from each channel to any of the following: Bus A, Bus B, a load, or a paired channel.
920 V peak Caution If you are using the SLSC-12251/12252 with voltages greater than 60 , the SLSC chassis must be made touch safe by panel mounting it in a closed rack to prevent user access to the rear of the device.
The chassis internal ambient temperature may reach 85 °C with all slots at the maximum allowed power dissipation. In the SLSC-12001 chassis this corresponds to an external ambient of 40 °C. 4 | ni.com | SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 User Manual...
Position the RTI-12306 at the desired slot and insert the securing screws, but do not fully tighten them. Insert an SLSC-12251/12252 module into the same slot as its corresponding RTI-12306 while firmly holding the RTI-12306 in place until the RTI-12306 is firmly connected to the module.

For temperature measurement, read the property NI.FIU.TemperatureSensorN where N = 0,1,2,3. The physical locations of the temperature sensors are as follows: Figure 3. Temperature Sensor Locations on SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 Boards 12 | ni.com | SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 User Manual...
Averaging data in multiples of 0.1 seconds helps remove 50 Hz or 60 Hz noise. Repeat the previous step at five or more DC current points from ±8 A on the SLSC-12251 and ±30 A on the SLSC-12252. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for all channels.

Accessories RTI-12306 The RTI-12306 is the required rear transition interface for use with SLSC-12251 and SLSC-12252 devices. The RTI-12306 provides connections to Bus A, Bus B, and all current sensor outputs through the MDR connectors. RTI-12306 Front View Figure 6. RTI-12306 Front View...
Ground reference for all signals. Terminal Blocks The following terminal blocks connect to the LOAD connectors on the SLSC-12251/12252 through SPxM-SPxF cables and provide easy spring terminal connections to the LOAD channels. The low voltage (<33 V) terminal block options also provide an HD44 connection for routing low current sense LOAD signals to an SLSC-12201 module.
