Page 13: Dac Connection
DAC & CT packages should be purchased. DAC Connection The DAC (Data Acquisition Case) is an optional, but fundamental accessory for the Eagle Eye SLB-Series. DACs are used for wireless data logging of each cells voltage in virtual real time. This allows the load bank to capture each individual cells performance throughout the load test to help isolate failed and weak cells. -
Page 14: Dac Test Leads Explained
SLB-Series User Manual About the DACs: Each DAC is powered by 8VDC from the batteries it is connected to. It attains this from the first 9 connections (7-lead harness) or first connection (3-lead harness). For cable management magnetic bolts are built into the bottom of DAC for attachment to metal surfaces. Each DAC has (2) serial ports for connection with test lead cables. -
