Installation
O f
The Expander Boxes
All connections to the ADC-16 are made through the Main I/O connector. Two interface options are
the STA-U and STA-EX8 accessory boxes. If your application requires access to ADC-16 interface
signals via screw terminals and eight or fewer channels of analog input use the STA-U. If your
application requires additional channels (more than eight), use the STA-EX8. This section describes
the installation of each. Note that the ADC-16 must already be installed for these procedures.
STA-U Installation
The STA-U allows access to ADC-16 interface signals via screw terminals. To connect the STA-U to
the ADC-16, obtain a C-1800 cable. Then, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn your computer off.
2. If the STA-U is enclosed, loosen the four comer screws and remove the top cover.
3. Plug one end
of the C-1800 cable into the Main 1 / 0 Connector of the ADC-16.
