System Overview
MCS 600
3 System Overview
3.1 Components
3.1.1 Housings
The housings are designed for use with modular components (slide-in cassettes)
of the MCS 600 system. The slide-in cassettes are electrically connected via plug
connectors on the inside of the rear panel.
Rack unit
A rack unit measures 1.75 inches (corresponds to 4.445 cm);
a horizontal pitch for the module width inside an insertion slide-in
measures 1/5 of an inch (corresponds to 5.08 mm).
3.1.2 Spectrometer cassettes
Spectrometer cassettes are modular components belonging to the MCS 600 sys-
tem. The functionality, design and safe operation of the spectrometer cassettes
have been tailored to this system. They may therefore only be used in MCS 600
system housings. The operator accepts responsibility for the effects of using the
cassettes in any other way. Only persons authorized by the manufacturer may
open the spectrometer cassette.
3.1.3 Lamp cassettes
Lamp cassettes are modular components belonging to the MCS 600 system. They
are specifically designed to be used with flexible optical fibers and may only be
used as such. The functionality, design and safe operation of the lamp cassettes
have been tailored to the MCS 600 system. They may therefore only be used in
MCS 600 system housings. The operator accepts responsibility for the effects of
using the lamp cassettes in any other way.
