Connecting the DBK33
The DBK33 can be installed into the internal expansion slot of a DaqBook/112, DaqBook/216,
DaqBook/2000X, a 3-Slot DBK10, a 3-slot DBK60, or a 10-Slot DBK41. It can also be used in a
LogBook/360 and DaqBook/260.
Examples of DBK33 Connections
If you will be using a 3-port DaqBook, i.e., DaqBook/100, /120, /200, /260, or /2000 Series with
a DBK41, then the best location for the DBK33 is the right-hand end-slot of the DBK41 when
facing the DBK41’s rear panel. This will be the left-hand slot if facing the DBK41 from the
front-panel.
DBK33’s P1 Connector
DBK33’s DB37 P1 connector interfaces with the analog DBK in one of two ways:
a)
Via a backplane, such as in the case of installing the DBK33 in a DBK41. For products with P1
backplanes,
if you will be installing a DBK33 internally
, you must have the correct configuration
of a backplane jumper(s) to disconnect the device’s +5 VDC from the backplane. Refer to the
device’s primary documentation in regard to the configuration.
b)
Via a CA-37-x cable, which interfaces between the DBK33’s P1 connector and the P1
connector(s) of the analog DBK(s) that it is to supply power to.
DBK33’s DIN5 Connectors
The DBK33 can be powered from a 9 to 18 VDC source such as an AC/DC power adapter, a DBK30A
battery module, or a car battery.
The DBK33 has two DIN5 power connectors to allow for the cascading of multiple DBK33s
(via a CA-115 power cable). The lower right-hand section of the preceding figure portrays this scenario.
Note that a DBK33 can share a power source with an acquisition device. For example, you can connect a
CA-115 power cable to the DIN5 Power Out connector of a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook and then
connect the other end of the CA-115 cable to one of the DIN5 connectors on the DBK33.
