The Software is the Instrument ® TBX-1325 High-Voltage Terminal Block This guide describes how to install and use the TBX-1325 high-voltage terminal block with the SCXI-1124 module. Introduction The TBX-1325 high-voltage terminal block is a DIN rail-mountable terminal block with 30 screw terminals for easy connection to the SCXI-1124 front connector.
Installation Perform the following steps to mount the SH48-48-A cable assembly and connect the TBX-1325 to your SCXI-1124 module. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 as needed. Warning: : Refer to the Signal Connection section connecting HOCK HAZARD BEFORE signals. If signal wires are connected to the terminal block, dangerous voltages may exist even when the equipment is turned off.

13. Connect the other end of the cable assembly to your TBX-1325 terminal block connector and secure the SH48-48-A cable by tightening both backshell mounting screws. See Figure 4. See Figure 5 for the completed installation. Backshell Mounting Screws and Ears 3...
When connecting your field signals to the TBX-1325 high-voltage terminal block for use with the SCXI-1124, follow the labeling on the TBX-1325 that matches the signal names from the SCXI-1124 User Manual. For information regarding the function and use of the SCXI-1124 signals, consult your SCXI-1124 User Manual.
You then need to calculate the voltage drop across the field signal wires you are connecting to the TBX-1325. For example, 30 m of 22 AWG stranded copper wire has about 1.5 Ω of resistance. Thus, driving a load 15 m away at 5 mA will produce an error at the load of 7.5 mV.
Wiring Instructions To connect your field signals to the TBX-1325 terminal block, refer to Figures 4 and 6 as you perform the following instructions: 1. Remove the TBX-1325 terminal block cover by unscrewing the four captive cover screws in the cover corners. These screws stay attached to the cover without falling out.
