Wiring Instructions

To connect your field signals to the TBX-1325 terminal block, refer to Figures 4 and 6 as you
perform the following instructions:

1. Remove the TBX-1325 terminal block cover by unscrewing the four captive cover screws in

the cover corners. These screws stay attached to the cover without falling out.

2. Connect the signal wires to the screw terminals. Refer to your SCXI module user manual for

examples of how to connect to field signals and loads.

Note: The board has corresponding rows labeled A and B to help you make the correct

connections, as shown in Figure 6, item 2.

Note that the CHASSIS GROUND terminals are connected to the SCXI chassis via the cable
shield. This is not shown in your SCXI module user manual. Allow your signal wires to exit
through the terminal block cover opening.

Note: This terminal block does not provide strain relief for field signal wires. Add strain

relief, insulation, and padding for your field signal wires, if necessary.

3. Replace the TBX-1325 terminal block cover and tighten the captive cover screws.

The installation and signal connection are now complete. Figure 6 shows the TBX-1325 parts
locator diagram.
