Interface & Power Supply Cabinets




MED Associates Interface Systems feature PC-compatible connection to either ISA or PCI bus. MED Associates offers the greatest system flexibility of any manufacturer by placing a single card in the control computer connected to a modular cabinet with central power supply. This centralized interfacing strategy supports multiple chamber systems at the most competitive cost. The heart of the MED Associates interface has remained consistent for nearly twenty years and has supported several software and component upgrades without becoming obsolete. Each component is listed individually in this section. Contact MED Associates if additional assistance is needed. 

Tabletop Cabinets

SG-6080D
Small Tabletop Cabinet and Power Supply

This tabletop interface cabinet is the most popular cabinet for labs that will not exceed more than 8 test chambers and do not require optional modules such as the Programmable Audio Generator (ANL-926). It is the most compact and least expensive unit available. It provides the equivalent of a SG-6080C Interface Cabinet and an SG-502 power supply.

Specifications:
Cabinet Dimensions: 9.25" W x 15.0" D x 5.6" H
(23.5 cm x 38.1 cm x 14.2 cm) 
Capacity: Nine single width panels

Power Specifications: 
Input Voltage: 115 V AC @ 4.0 A or 230 V AC @ 2.0 A
Input Frequency: 50/60 Hz

Output Voltages (Tolerance): Ripple and Noise:
+5 Volts @ 4.4 A (± 2%) 100 mV
+15 Volts @ 1.8 A (± 6%) 120 mV
-15 Volts @ 0.9 A (± 6%) 120 mV
+28 Volts @ 6.0 A (± 1%) 200 mV

Operating Temperature: 0-50 degrees C
Built-in EMI Filter 
Short Circuit Protected

SG-6510D
Large Tabletop Cabinet and Power Supply

This interface cabinet is the largest available with the capacity and power to support up to sixteen chambers running on SmartCtrlT modules, or eight SmartCtrlT modules with eight Programmable Audio Generators (ANL-926). MED Associates' interface cabinets have always contained DC power supplies for interface modules, aversive stimulators, audio generators and other component modules. Like the SG-6080D, this unit combines the 28 V DC power supply with the other supplies in one convenient tabletop enclosure. For rack mounted applications see the SG-6010 and for individual rack mount power supplies, see ENV-500, ENV-502, ENV-503, or ENV-504. Connections to the 28 V DC supply in this unit are made from convenient two pin polarized Molex® connectors on the front panel. 

Specifications:
Cabinet Dimensions: 19.0" W x 15.0" D x 5.6" H
(48.3 cm x 38.1 cm x 14.2 cm) 
Capacity: Seventeen single width panels

SG-6080C
Tabletop Interface Cabinet

The SG-6080C Cabinet shown below is virtually identical to the SG-6080D without the 28 Volt Supply. Use for aversive stimulation modules as shown or for interface applications with standalone power supplies. These components must be ordered separately.

Specifications:
Cabinet Dimensions: 9.0" W x 11.75" D x 8.0" H
(22.9 cm x 29.8 cm x 20.3 cm)
Capacity: Nine single width panels

Rack Mount Chassis

SG-6010
Rack Mount Interface Chassis and Heavy Duty Power Supply

This rack mounted unit has the same module capacity as the SG-6510D without the built in 28 Volt Supply. See ENV-500, ENV-502, ENV-503, or ENV-504 for rack mount 28 V DC power supplies, if needed. This cabinet will support up to 4 aversive stimulator packages using the ENV-410B, ENV-412, and ENV-413 modules.

Specifications:
Cabinet Dimensions:
19.0" W x 5.25" H x 12.0" D
