The US Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) requires the purchase of Isolated Analog Voltage Conditioning

Module Components that will be combined by the ATC to make thirty-two (32) eight-channel analog

signal isolation boxes. There are three (3) types of components required, the input/output backplane, a

power supply module, and an analog voltage isolation module. ATC will assemble the components into

32 enclosures which are intended for mobile automotive testing. The total quantity of components

required are 32 input/output backplanes, 32 power supply modules and 256 isolating analog voltage

modules . The following is the buy list:

Component 1: Quantity: 32

Eight Position Input/Output Backplane. The Eight Position Input/Output Backplane provides the

electrical interface and mounting interface for eight (8) electrical voltage isolation modules. Analog

voltage input signals are attached to the backplane by screw terminals and the corresponding analog

output signal exits the backplane by either a screw terminal or a multi-pin connector. The backplane

also has a power supply conditioning module mounting location to permit for wide range DC voltage

input capability.

Technical Specifications

1. Maximum number of analog inputs: 8

2. Input/output electrical isolation for each channel of 1500 Vrms.

3. Each signal input must have individual set of screw terminal input connectors.

4. Two sets of electrical power input screw terminals. One set for the constant 5 VDC input and a

second set for the wide-range 7-34 VDC input.

5. If both sets of power connectors are use, the wide range input will automatically take

precedence over the +5 VDC input.

6. Screw terminal connectors shall accept up to 16AWG wire.

7. Minimum backplane operating temperature range: -40 Deg C to +85 Deg C

8. Overvoltage and reverse voltage protection provided by the backplane.

9. Size limitations of backplane:

a. No greater than 6.75 inches long by 3.75 inches wide by 2inches high

b. Weight shall not exceed 0.5 pounds.

Component 2: Quantity 32

Power Supply Module. The Power Supply Module mounts to the backplane and will accept input

voltages from 7 VDC to 34 VDC and provide a high precision 5 VDC output voltage to the backplane.

The power supply module shall have the following physical and electrical characteristics.

Technical Specifications

1. Input voltage range of 7 VDC to 34 VDC.

2. Output voltage of 5 VDC +/- 1%.

3. Maximum output current of 3 amps.

4. Output ripple limited to 50 mV.

5. Screw terminal connectors shall accept up to 16AWG wire.

6. Minimum module operating temperature range: -40 Deg C to +85 Deg C

7. Size limitations of module is no greater than 1.25 inches long by 1.75 inches wide by .75 inches

high.

Component 3: Quantity 256

Analog Voltage Isolation Module. The Analog Signal Isolation Module mounts to the backplane and

operates from the 5 VDC backplane power. Each module will accept the input signal provided will

isolate, filter, and amplify the voltage input signal and provide a scaled and isolated corresponding

analog voltage output. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling to suppress transmission of

common mode spikes or surges. The Analog Voltage Isolation Module shall have the following

physical and electrical characteristics.

Technical Specifications

1. Input voltage range of -40 VDC to +40 VDC.

2. Output voltage of 5 VDC +/- 1%.

3. Signal bandwidth of 20KHz.

4. Signal isolation of 1500 Vrms.

5. Required signal accuracy no worse than +/-0.05%

6. Input resistance no less than 500 Kohm.

7. Minimum module operating temperature range: -40 Deg C to +85 Deg C

8. Size limitations of module is no greater than 1.25 inches long by 1.75 inches wide by .75 inches

high.
