Chapter 5
Installation and Connections
This chapter explains how to install and make connections to the SC-207X Series boards.
Hardware Installation
Most of the sections that follow apply to all of the SC-207X Series boards. However, several topics
are more board-specific than others. Unless a given topic is delineated by board, the topic applies to
all SC-207X Series boards.
Hardware Installation for the SC-2070 and the SC-2071
The following are general instructions for installing your SC-2070 or SC-2071 board in your computer
DAQ system. Consult the user manual or technical reference manual of your computer for specific
instructions and warnings.
Caution: Turn the host computer off before making any connections.
1.
Determine what signal conditioning is desired for the analog inputs and install the necessary
components into the open component positions. If no signal conditioning is needed on an input,
then the factory-installed jumpers (on the SC-2070) or jumper (on the SC-2071) must be in place.
2.
Check that jumpers W1 and W2 are set correctly for the current application.
3.
Mount the SC-207X Series board into a 19-in. rack (optional).
4.
Connect the SC-207X Series board to the DAQ device using a 50-pin ribbon cable. (If an
SC-205X Series board is used with the SC-207X Series boards, install and mount the SC-205X
Series board as instructed in the SC-205X Series User Manual, then connect the SC-207X Series
board to the SC-205X Series board using the 50-pin cable and connect the SC-205X Series board
to the DAQ device.)
5.
Connect field signals to the SC-207X Series board at the screw terminals.
6.
Attach the appropriate cover to the rack mount (optional).
7.
Turn the computer on.
8.
When finished, turn off any powered external signals to the SC-207X Series board before turning
off the computer.
