SCXI-1121 User Manual
Connector-and-Shell Assembly
Two types of signal connectors are available to connect the transducers to
the SCXI-1121 inputs. The first, the SCXI-1330 32-pin DIN C female
connector-and-shell assembly, is available in a kit listed in the
Equipment
section in Chapter 1, Introduction. The connector has eyelet
ends for easy hook-and-solder wire connection. With this kit, you can build
your own signal cable to connect to the SCXI-1121 inputs. After you have
built the cable, the shell covers and protects the connector. Perform the
following steps to assemble and mount the connector-and-shell assembly
to your SCXI module:
1.
Refer to Figure 2-8 and the diagram included with your SCXI-1330 kit
to build the connector-and-shell assembly.
2.
Turn off the computer that contains your DAQ board or disconnect the
board from your SCXI chassis.
3.
Turn off your SCXI chassis.
4.
Slide the selected module out of the SCXI chassis.
5.
Remove the module cover.
6.
Place one jack screw on the SCXI-1121 as indicated in Figure 2-8.
7.
While holding the jack screw in place, insert the lock washer and then
the nut. Notice that you might need long-nose pliers to insert the
washer and nut.
8.
Tighten the nut by holding it firmly and rotating the jack screw.
9.
Repeat steps 6 through 8 for the second jack screw.
10. Replace the module cover and tighten the grounding screw.
11. Slide the module back in place.
12. Connect the SCXI-1330 to your module connector and secure it by
tightening both mounting screws.
