SC-207X Series User Manual
External Power Connection (If Necessary)
Because your SC-207X Series board draws very little current from the computer power supply, an
ex5 VDC supply is unnecessary in most cases. If several high-current SC-206X Series digital
signal conditioning boards (such as the SC-2062 board) are being used on the same DAQ device as the
SC-207X Series board, some of these boards need to be powered by an ex5 VDC supply.
Because the SC-206X Series boards draw much more current than the SC-207X Series, the SC-206X
Series boards should be powered from the external supply, and the SC-207X Series board should be
run from the host computer power supply. However, your SC-207X Series board can be powered from
an ex5 VDC power supply.
An external supply can be necessary in the following situations:
• A particularly high-current circuit has been constructed on the general-purpose breadboarding area.
• The power requirements for equipment connected to the computer’s power supply exceed the rating
for that supply.
To connect the external power supply (the power supply must be turned off) to the SC-2070 or the
SC-2071, first remove fuse F1. Then connect the wires from the +5 VDC and the supply ground lines
to the screw terminals l5 V and DGND on the board.
To connect the external digital power supply (the power supply must be turned off) to the SC-2072,
connect the wires from the +5 VDC and the ground lines of the supply to the screw terminals labeled
+5 V and GND on the board. To connect the external analog power supply (the power supply must be
turned off) to the SC-2072, connect the wires from the positive, ground, and negative supply outputs to
the screw terminals lV, COM, and -V, respectively.
