Signal Connection
Perform the following steps to connect the signals to the terminal block.
The numbers in parentheses refer to items in Figure 1.
1.
To access the screw terminals (9), remove the terminal block
cover (5) by loosening the three cover screws (6) with a Phillips-
head number 1 screwdriver. These screws stay attached to the cover
without falling out.
2.
Choose the wire opening (see Figure 2) through which your signal
wires will pass and loosen the appropriate strain-relief bar
screws (11) with a Phillips-head number 2 screwdriver. You can
completely remove the strain-relief bar (12) for easier access.
3.
Use a wire cutter and wire insulation stripper to strip the wire ends as
necessary to connect them to screw terminals.
4.
Loosen the screws in the screw terminals (9) with a 0.09 in. flathead
screwdriver.
5.
Insert the stripped wires into the screw terminals. Tighten the screws
with a 0.09 in. flathead screwdriver.
6.
Replace the strain-relief bar, if necessary, and tighten the strain-relief
bar screws.
Note:
If the strain-relief bar screws protrude past the bottom of the terminal block,
replace the screws with 6-32 Phillips panhead screws that are shorter than
3/4 in.
7.
Replace the terminal block cover and tighten the cover screws.
You can now connect the terminal block to the VXI-DAQ module front
panel connector.
