This guide describes how to install and use the SCXI-1313 high-voltage
attenuator terminal block with an SCXI-1125 module.
The SCXI-1313 high-voltage attenuator terminal block is shielded and has
screw terminals that connect to the SCXI-1125 input connector. Each
SCXI-1313 channel has a precision 100:1 resistive voltage divider that you
can use to measure voltages of up to 300 V
SCXI-1125. You can individually bypass these dividers for low-voltage
measurement applications.
The terminal block has 18 screw terminals for easy signal connection. One
pair of screw terminals connects to the SCXI-1125 chassis ground. When
used with the SCXI-1125, the remaining eight pairs of screw terminals
connect signals to the eight analog inputs.
The following conventions are used in this guide:
The » symbol leads you through nested menu items and dialog box options
to a final action. The sequence File»Page Setup»Options directs you to
pull down the File menu, select the Page Setup item, and select Options
from the last dialog box.
This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.
This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to
avoid injury, data loss, or a system crash.
Bold text denotes items that you must select or click on in the software,
such as menu items and dialog box options.

  • Page 2: What You Need To Get Started

    What You Need to Get Started To set up and use your SCXI-1313 terminal block, you need the following items: ❑ SCXI-1313 high-voltage attenuator terminal block ❑...
  • Page 3: Safety Information

    If the device is damaged, turn the device off and do not use it until service-trained personnel can check its safety. If necessary, return the device to National Instruments for service and repair to ensure that its safety is not compromised.
  • Page 4 National Instruments is not liable for any damages or injuries resulting from inadequate safety earth-ground connections. Do not loosen or re-orient the safety-ground lug hardware when connecting the safety ground wire; to do so reduces the safety isolation between the high voltage and safety ground.
  • Page 5: Connecting Signals

    To connect the signal to the terminal block, perform the following steps, referring to Figures 1 and 2 as necessary: Unscrew the top cover screws and remove the top cover. Loosen the strain-relief screws and remove the strain-relief bar. © National Instruments Corporation SCXI-1313 Installation Guide...
  • Page 6 Figure 1. SCXI-1313 Parts Locator Diagram Run the signal wires through the strain-relief opening. You can add insulation or padding if necessary. When connecting your signals to the SCXI-1313, follow the labeling on the Note SCXI-1313 for the appropriate module, as indicated in Figure 2.
  • Page 7 5 Assembly Number and Revision Letter 10 Relays to Enable or Bypass the Attenuator Figure 2. SCXI-1313 Signal Connections Connect the signal wires to the screw terminals by inserting the stripped end of the wire fully into the terminal. No bare wire should extend past the screw terminal.
  • Page 8: Installing The Terminal Block

    The unit must be completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to service. Calibrating the Terminal Block For information on calibrating the SCXI-1313, see the SCXI-1313 High-Voltage Attenuator Terminal Block Calibration Procedure located online at and follow the link for Manual ni.com/calibration...
  • Page 9 The temperature sensor accuracy includes tolerances in all component values, effects caused by temperature and loading, and self-heating. Errors caused by temperature gradients between terminals and the sensor are not included in this specification. © National Instruments Corporation SCXI-1313 Installation Guide...
  • Page 10: Electromagnetic Compatibility

    This device should only be operated with shielded cabling for full EMC and EMI Note compliance. See the Declaration of Conformity for this product for any additional regulatory compliance information. Category II refers to local-level power distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet. SCXI-1313 Installation Guide ni.com...
  • Page 11: Temperature Sensor Output And Accuracy

    Temperature Sensor Output and Accuracy The SCXI-1313 temperature sensor outputs 1.91 to 0.65 V from 0 to 50 °C. Converting a Thermistor Voltage to a Temperature National Instruments software can convert a thermistor voltage to the thermistor temperature for the circuit diagram shown in Figure 3.
