Scanning Card & Channel Expansion
Scanning Card Expansion
Each TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200 unit can accept one scanning card to provide signal conditioning.
However, if your application demands more channels then you can expand the master unit’s capabilities
with either or both types of expansion units: Exp/10A and/or Exp/11A. Each Exp/10A expansion unit
allows for the addition of two scanning cards, while each Exp/11A expansion unit allows for the addition
of ten scanning cards. Up to fifteen Exp/10A units can be attached to the master unit, giving a maximum
of
30 additional scanning-card slots. Similarly, up to three Exp/11A units can be linked to the master unit,
also giving a maximum of 30 additional scanning-card slots, as shown in the following table.
Expansion Capabilities Exp/10A Exp/11A
Number of expansion scanning-card slots per expansion unit 2 10
Number of identical expansion units that can be linked to the master unit 15 3
Maximum number of expansion scanning-card slots 30 30
Note: If a combination of Exp/10A and Exp/11A expansion units are linked together, then the
maximum number of expansion scanning-card slots is still 30.
