CAUTION

Turn off power to all devices connected to the system before connecting cables or setting configuration jumpers and switches. Electrical shock or damage to equipment can result even under low-voltage conditions.

CAUTION

The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should always handle components carefully, and you should never touch connector pins or circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly grounded mats and wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.

Introduction

The term “DBK” typically refers to a card or module that is used to expand or enhance a primary data acquisition device, such as a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook. As will be seen in the upcoming DBK identification tables, DBKs provide a wide variety of data acquisition functions. Depending on the DBKs used, one or more of the following can be realized:

•signal conditioning

•analog output

•digital I/O

•channel expansion

•supplying powering to another acquisition device

•providing an interface for different connectivity; for example, in a DaqBoard/2000 Series board, converting a P4, 100-pin connector to P1, P2, and P3 37-pin, DB37 connectors.

Reference Notes: During software installation, Adobe® PDF versions of user manuals will automatically install onto your hard drive as a part of product support. The default location is in the Programs group, which can be accessed from the Windows Desktop. Refer to the PDF documentation, especially the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual

(p/n 457-0905) for details regarding both hardware and software in relevant to DBKs.

A copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader® is included on your CD. The Acrobat Reader provides a means of reading and printing the PDF documents. Note that hardcopy versions of the manuals can be ordered from the factory.

How Do DBKs Connect to the Data Acquisition Device?

Each DBK connects to the primary data acquisition device; e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook, through one of three 37-pin ports, which are designated as follows:

•P1 – Analog I/O

•P2 – Digital I/O

•P3 – Pulse/Frequency/High-Speed Digital I/O

Depending on the primary data acquisition device, connectivity issues differ slightly. This will be made clear by the figures and accompanying text that follow.

Connecting DBKs to DaqBook/100/200 Series Devices, ISA-Type DaqBoards, & LogBooks

Reference Notes:

o DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series users, refer to page 4. o DaqBook/2000 Series users, refer to page 5.

For DaqBook/100 Series and DaqBook/200 Series devices, ISA-Type DaqBoards, and LogBooks, DBK connections are not made directly to the port, but through a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, in addition to providing a DB37 connector to interface with the primary data acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added. The CA-37-x cable system is excellent for DaqBooks, LogBooks, and ISA-type DaqBoards.

Daq Systems

The previous figure applies to LogBooks, DaqBook/100/200 Series devices, and ISA-type DaqBoards. As will be seen elsewhere in this document, some devices do not include all three connectors, i.e., P1, P2, and P3.

Connecting DBKs to Daq PC-Cards

The Daq PC-Card is only intended for connections to a P1 connector of a single “passive” DBK card or module. A passive DBK card or module is one that provides a desired connectivity (such as BNCs or screw terminals), but performs no signal conditioning.

A CA-134 Interface Cable and a CN-86-F (dual DB37 female adapter) are used to provide the DB37, P1 connector.

Daq PC-Card Cabling

The CA-134 cable connects to a CN-86-F adapter, which then connects to a single “passive” card or module. The passive DBKs are:

•DBK1 – 16 Connector BNC Module

•DBK11A – Screw Terminal Option Card

•DBK40 – BNC Analog Interface

Reference Note:

For information regarding the passive DBKs (DBK1, DBK11A, and DBK40), refer to the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).

DBK Basics, pg. 3

Connecting DBKs to DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards

DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000 Series boards have 100-pin connectors designated as P4. The 100 pins correlate to various pins on P1, P2, and P3 DB37 connectors.* Connectivity in the system is as follows (see figure).

•Both the DaqBoard/2000 and /2000c Series board connect to a CA-195 cable. The cable has two, 100-pin, P4 connectors.

•The CA-195 connects to a DBK200 Series adapter board or adapter module for 100-pin to 37-pin adaptations, e.g., P4-to-P1, P2, P3; but not necessarily all three.*

•The DBK200 Series adapter connects to a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, in addition to providing a DB37 connector to interface with the primary data acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added.

•The CA-37-x cable connects to expansion DBKs, in accordance with port type. For example, Analog DBKs to port P1, Digital DBKs to port P2, and passive DBKs to port P3.

Connecting DBKs to a DaqBoard/2000 Series Board

* DaqBoard/2003 and cPCI DaqBoard/2003c are exceptions to the above connectivity method. The /2003 board typically connects directly to a DBK205 (P4-to-Screw Terminal Adapter), as discussed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).

Note: DaqBook/2000 Series Devices, which are discussed in the following section, can also connect to DBKs via a P4 connector, as indicated in the above figure.

pg. 4, DBK Basics

Daq Systems

Connecting DBKs to DaqBook/2000 Series Devices

Several products make use of the DaqBook/2000 nomenclature. However, they do not all offer the same connection options. Refer to pinouts for the specific devices, as needed.

Product	Connects to DBK Expansions via …
DaqBook/2001 and /2005	37-pin connectors P1, P2, and P3. There is no P4.
DaqBook/2020	37-pin connectors P1 and P2. There is no P3 or P4.
DaqOEM/2001 and /2005	40-pin headers (JP1, JP2, and JP3). There is no P4.
DaqBook/2000A	37-pin connectors P1, P2, P3, and a 100-pin P4 connector.
DaqBook/2000E	37-pin connectors P1, P2, P3, and a 100-pin P4 connector.
DaqBook/2000X	37-pin connectors P1, P2, P3, and a 100-pin P4 connector.

For DaqBook/2000 Series devices, DBK connections can be made to Ports P1, P2, and/or P3 (when applicable). For the “AEX” models a 100-pin P4 connector can be used. A discussion of both methods, follows.

The P4 connector on a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device shares signal connections with the

P1, P2, and P3 connectors. P4 offers no additional I/O. Connecting a DBK200 Series

Option to P4 via a CA-195 cable distances the P1, P2, P3 connection from the

DaqBook/2000 Series device. It does not provide any new signal I/O. See the following

Caution.

CAUTION

Signal conflicts between a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device’s P1, P2, P3 connectors and its P4 connector can result in erroneous readings and possible equipment damage.

Therefore, when connections have been made to P1, P2, and/or P3, use caution when making connections through P4, and visa versa.

Refer to P1, P2, P3, and P4 pinouts to avoid making duplicate signal connections.

There are two ways to connect a DBK option to a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device. The first method is preferable, as it introduces less noise.

Preferred Method – (a) Connect a CA-37-x cable to the appropriate DB37 connector [P1, P2, or P3] on the DaqBook/2000 Series device. (b) Connect the free end of the cable to the DBK card or module.

Optional Method – (a) Connect a CA-195-x cable to the P4 connector on the DaqBook/2000 Series device. (b) Connect the free end of the cable to a DBK200 Series device. (c) Connect the DBK option to the DBK200 Series device, as applicable.

The primary reason that less noise is seen in the “preferred” method is that a DaqBook/2000 Series device’s P1 connector pertains only to analog acquisition signals and the P2 connector pertains only to digital I/O. This provides a strong degree of isolation between the two signal types. However, in the case of a CA-195-x cable connected to P4, digital and analog signals co-exist in one cable.

If you need to use the P4 connection method, use of the 8-inch ribbon cable (CA-195-1) will result in the lowest level of crosstalk [for that method].

DBK Basics, pg. 5

Connecting DBKs to a DaqBook/2000 Series Device via P1, P2, and/or P3

The DBKs do not connect directly to the port, but through a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, a CA-37-3 cable includes a 37-pin mating connector to interface with the DaqBook/2000 Series DB37 connector (P1, P2, P3); it also includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a

CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added to one DaqBook/2000 Series device DB37-type port.

The P4 connector on a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device shares signal connections with the P1, P2, and P3 connectors. P4 offers no additional I/O. Connecting a DBK200 Series Option to P4 via a CA-195 cable distances the P1, P2, P3 connection from the DaqBook/2000 Series device. It does not provide any new signal I/O. See the following Caution.

CAUTION

Signal conflicts between a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device’s P1, P2, P3 connectors and its P4 connector can result in erroneous readings and possible equipment damage.

Therefore, when connections have been made to P1, P2, and/or P3, use caution when making connections through P4, and visa versa.

The following pinouts indicate the P1, P2, and P3 pins, and their P4 equivalents. Use the pinouts to avoid making duplicate signal connections.

Connecting DBKs to a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” Device via P4

Every DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device has a 100-pin connector designated as P4. The P4 pins correlate to various pins on P1, P2, and P3.

The P4 connector on a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device shares signal connections with the P1, P2, and P3 connectors. P4 offers no additional I/O. Connecting a DBK200 Series Option to P4 via a CA-195 cable distances the P1, P2, P3 connection from the DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device. It does not provide any new signal I/O. See the following Caution.

CAUTION

Signal conflicts between a DaqBook/2000 AEX device’s P1, P2, P3 connectors and its P4 connector can result in erroneous readings and possible equipment damage.

Therefore, when connections have been made to P1, P2, and/or P3, use caution when making connections through P4, and visa versa.

Refer to P1, P2, P3, and P4 pinouts to avoid making duplicate signal connections.

A brief explanation of P4 connectivity for DaqBook/2000 AEX devices follows the illustration.

DBK Basics, pg. 7

P4 connectivity for DaqBook/2000 “AEX” devices is as follows:

•One end of a CA-195 cable connects to the DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device’s 100-pin P4 connector. Note that the CA-195 cable has two P4 connectors.

•The other end of the CA-195 cable connects to a DBK200 Series adapter board [or adapter module] for 100-pin to 37-pin adaptations, e.g., P4-to-P1, P2, P3; but not necessarily all three.

•The DBK200 Series adapter connects to one or more CA-37-x ribbon cables, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, in addition to providing a DB37 connector to interface with the primary data acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added.

•The CA-37-x cable connects to expansion DBKs, in accordance with port type. For example, Analog DBKs to port P1, Digital DBKs to port P2, and passive DBKs to port P3.

There are two ways to connect a DBK option to a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device. The first method is preferable, as it introduces less noise.

Preferred Method – (a) Connect a CA-37-x cable to the appropriate DB37 connector [P1, P2, or P3] on the DaqBook/2000 Series device. (b) Connect the free end of the cable to the DBK card or module.

Optional Method – (a) Connect a CA-195-x cable to the P4 connector on the DaqBook/2000 Series device. (b) Connect the free end of the cable to a DBK200 Series device. (c) Connect the DBK option to the DBK200 Series device, as applicable.

The primary reason that less noise is seen in the “preferred” method is that a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device’s P1 connector pertains only to analog acquisition signals and the P2 connector pertains only to digital I/O. This provides a strong degree of isolation between the two signal types. However, in the case of a CA-195-x cable connected to P4, digital and analog signals co-exist in one cable.

If you need to use the P4 connection method, use of the 8-inch ribbon cable (CA-195-1) will result in the lowest level of crosstalk [for that method].

The CE Cable Kit, p/n CA-209D, may be required for systems that require a P4 cable length of 3 feet. The CA-209D kit includes a shielded version of the CA-195 cable, two grounding pigtails, and associated cable clamps. When properly connected, the shielded cable provides greater immunity to noise. The CE Compliance chapter includes details.

Analog Signal Conditioning DBKs

The DBKs that are used for analog signal conditioning attach to transducers and condition their outputs into analog voltages. An A/D converter, located in the primary acquisition device, measures the analog voltages. There are many signal-conditioning solutions available (and more are in development). Note that DBK high-capacity modules require more circuitry than can fit on a compact card.

Power Supply DBKs

Power supply type DBKs are typically used in laboratory, automotive, and field applications. Input power can come from any +10 to +20 VDC source, or from an AC source by using an appropriately rated AC-to- DC adapter. The DBK30A rechargeable power supply can power DBK modules where AC mains are not available (the DBK30A outputs 28 V for powering transducers). For a large number of DBK cards, the DBK32A or DBK33 can be installed into an expansion slot. The DBK33 is used when +5 V is required in addition to ±15 VDC. The DBK34 provides a steady 12 or 24 VDC while working with vehicle electrical systems that may be turned on or off during testing.

Tips on Setting up a Data Acquisition System

A successful installation involves setting up equipment and setting software parameters. In addition to this manual, you may need to consult your Daq device or LogBook user’s manual.

DBKs should be configured before connections are made and power is applied. This sequence can prevent equipment damage and will help ensure proper operation on startup. Many DBKs have on-board jumpers and/or DIP switches that are used for setting channels and other variables. You will need to refer to the individual DBK document modules to ensure that the DBKs are properly configured for you application.

Prior to designing or setting up a custom data acquisition system, you should review the following tips. After reviewing the material you can write out the steps to setup a system that will best meet your specific application needs.

1.The end use of the acquisition data should be used to determine how you set up and program your acquisition system. Prior to creating the system you should understand its layout and know how you are going to assign the channels. If you can answer the following questions you are off to a good start. If not, you need to find the answers.

•What engineering units, ranges, sampling rates, etc. are best for your data?

•Will the data be charted graphically, statistically processed, or exported to other programs?

•How will the data be used?

•How will the data be saved?

•What are the system power requirements? Using several DBKs or transducers that require excitation current may require an extra power supply, e.g., a DBK32A.

2.Assign channel numbers.

3.Plan the location of transducers, cable runs, DBKs, the acquisition device [LogBook or Daq device], and the computer. Label your transducers, cables, and connectors to prevent later confusion.

pg. 12, DBK Basics

Daq Systems

4.When configuring your LogBook or Daq device(s) consider the following:

•LogBook calibration is typically performed automatically through LogView software; however, some DBKs may require manual calibration.

•The DaqBook/100 Series and DaqBook/200 Series devices, and DaqBoards (ISA type) have internal jumpers and switches that you must set manually to match your application.

•Some DaqBook/100 Series and DaqBook/200 Series models are partially configured in software.

•DaqBook/2000 Series devices have no jumpers or internal switches and are configured entirely through software.

•Daq PC-Cards are configured entirely in software.

•DaqBoard/2000 Series boards are PCI type boards. They have no jumpers or switches and are configured entirely through software.

•cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards are compact PCI (cPCI) type boards. They have no jumpers or switches and are configured entirely through software.

•You may need to refer to other documentation, such as Quick Starts, Installation Guides, User’s Manuals, and pertinent DBK document modules.

5.Perform all hardware configurations before connecting signal and power. Remember to configure all the DBK cards and modules for your application. Several jumpers and DIP switches may need to be set (channel, gain, filters, signal mode, etc).

6.Setting up channel parameters often requires both hardware and software setup.

7.Route and connect all signal and power cables while all power is turned OFF.

8.To minimize electrical noise, route all signal lines away from any RF or high-voltage devices.

9.Follow your device’s specific installation instructions. For certain devices software should be installed first; for others, hardware should be installed prior to software installation.

10.After software is loaded, remember to set the software parameters as needed for your application. The software must recognize all the hardware in the system. Measurement units and ranges should be checked to verify that they meet your application requirements.

11.Remember to set all channels to the proper mode for your DBK or other signal source.

12.After your system is up and running, verify proper data acquisition and data storage.

13.Verify system accuracy; adjust ranges or calibrate as needed.

14.Device specific information regarding system setup and expansion can be found in the Daq and LogBook User’s manuals; and in the applicable DBK document modules of this manual.

15.If you are considering system expansion, review the DBK10, DBK41, and DBK60 document modules. The best option depends on the number of DBK cards in your system. For just a few cards, use the stackable 3-slot DBK10 low-profile expansion enclosure. For more than six cards, use the 10-slot DBK41. DBK41s can be daisy-chained to one-another to handle a large number of DBKs.

16.In regard to power management, you should review the DBK30A, DBK32A, and DBK33 document modules. For portable applications, the compact DBK30A rechargeable power supply can provide power to the DBK10 or DBK41. The DBK30A also includes a 28 V output for powering 4 to 20 mA transducers. For applications with many DBK cards (initially or in future expansion), the DBK32A or DBK33 can be installed into any expansion slot. The DBK32A provides ±15 VDC and the DBK33 provides ±15 VDC and +5 VDC.

Power Supplies and Power Connectors

Power supplies convert the raw power they receive into a lower DC voltage and/or current for use by devices with various power demands. Many of the power supplies that are used to power data acquisition equipment are of the switching-mode type. These devices provide a regulated output whether the power supply’s input is, for example, 60 Hz, 120 VAC as in the United States or, 50 Hz, 220 VAC as found in European countries. Small power supplies, that do not switch, consist of simple transformer/rectifiers and filtered capacitors; and operate over a smaller voltage range.

Some manufacturers improve the power output of their units over time, without changing the model number. For example, one very popular power supply was previously rated at 15 VDC @ 2.7 amps, yet more recent versions of the same model number are rated 15 VDC @ 3.3 amps. Read the manufacturer’s information pertaining to your power supplies so you don’t accidentally overload the supply.

DBKs – The following table indicates the type of power supply that is typically used with certain DBKs.

An Introduction to Power-Related DBKs

The power-related DBK options are the DBK30A, DBK32A, DBK33, DBK34, and DBK34A. From the standpoint of providing reliable power, these DBKs have proven convenient in laboratory, automotive, and field applications.

Input power for these devices can come from any 10 to 20 VDC source, or from an AC source via an appropriate AC-to-DC adapter.

A brief synopsis of the DBK power options follows. Refer to the respective document modules for complete information.

DBK30A module - provides power at 14 and 28 VDC with a rated capacity of 3.4 A-hr @ 14 VDC.

The DBK30A’s 28 V output will power 4 to 20 mA transducers. The module’s rechargeable power supply can power DBK modules in situations where AC mains are not available.

Note: Some transducers (e.g., 2-wire 4-20 mA transmitters, bridge-configured sensors, etc) require an excitation voltage in order to work properly. The DBK30A supplies 14 and 28 VDC. Consult transducer documentation before applying power.

DBK32A - provides ±15 VDC @ 500 mA. DBK33 - provides ±15 VDC @ 250 mA and +5 VDC @ 1000 mA.

The DBK32A and DBK33 power cards attach directly to the P1 analog expansion bus where they supply power to DBK analog expansion cards. The DBK32A and the DBK33 can be powered from an included AC adapter, an optional DBK30A battery module, or from a +10 to +20 VDC source such as a car battery.

When installed in a DBK10 three-slot expansion chassis, the DBK32A or DBK33 supplies power to the analog DBK [that is to receive power] via a CA-37-x cable.

If used with the DBK41 ten-slot expansion enclosure, the DBK32A or DBK33 installs into one of the analog expansion slots on the DBK41’s backplane. A power card in any DBK41slot (other than the leftmost, when viewed from the rear) will power the other cards that are connected to the DBK41’s backplane.

CAUTION

If using a DBK32A or a DBK33 with a DaqBook/100 Series, DaqBook/200 Series, or a DaqBoard [ISA type] device, you must entirely remove the shunt jumpers from JP1. Failure to do so will result in damage to the 8254 timer chip. Refer to the power card document modules and to the Daq device Hardware sections of the DaqBook/100 Series and DaqBook/200 Series, and DaqBoard [ISA] user’s manuals for JP1 locations and configurations.

DBK34A module – provides 12 or 24 VDC with a 5.0 or 2.5 A-hr capacity (respectively).

The DBK34A is classified as a UPS / Battery module. The module can be used for in-vehicle testing in scenarios where the vehicle’s electrical system does not affect acquisition device power during starter-current surge, or power-off.

Daq Systems

967794

DBK Basics, pg. 15

Power Requirements

The improper use of power can cause system damage. The following terms are important in regard to understanding your system’s power needs.

•Supply power for signal conditioning type DBKs comes from a primary acquisition device, such as a DaqBook/2000 Series device or LogBook, or from a power card or module. If needed, the DBK32A or DBK33 can provide additional power to meet DBK power demands. The DBK power supplies work off of low-voltage DC that can come from an AC adapter or from a DC source, such as a car battery.

•Demand for power comes from DBK cards and modules [and in some systems, from transducers]. You should use the DBK Power Requirement Worktable to calculate your system’s power needs. After completing the table, compare the total power demand to the supply power.

•Distribution of power to most DBKs is via the P1 interface. The DBK41 expansion chassis has a jumper to isolate +5 VDC power from P1. The P1 Pin designations are as follows:

Pin 1: +5 VDC

Pin 2: -15 VDC

Pin 21: +15 VDC Pin 7: digital ground

Pin 28: analog ground Pin 29: analog ground

Note: Certain DBK modules have their own internal power supplies and require only 10 VDC to 20 VDC.

LogBook

The LogBook [with no DBKs attached] uses approximately 12 Watts of power. If using battery-power, you can compute operational endurance from your battery’s watt×hr rating and the following calculation tables.

DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards

DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series Boards use 3.5 watts of power

(700 mA @ 5 VDC) from their host computer. Power consumption can be up to 10 W with external accessories.

Avoid power cycling the host PC. Wait 10 seconds after powering down the host PC before powering it back on. This will allow any residual voltages to decay enabling the DaqBoard/2000 Series or /2000c Series board to start up in a known good state.

DaqBook/100 Series & /200 Series, DaqBoard [ISA], and Daq PC-Card

If using power from AC mains (through adapter), you need not worry about Daq device power use. If using battery-power, you can compute operational endurance from the battery’s watt×hr rating and power tables. Daq PC-Card and DaqBoard use power from their host PC.

DaqBook/100 and DaqBook/200 Series devices use no power from the PC, but do require DC voltage from an AC-to-DC adapter, or another suitable source. Voltage needs are as follows:

•+7 to +20 VDC for DaqBook/100, DaqBook/112, and DaqBook/120

•+10 to +24 VDC for DaqBook/216

•9 to +18 VDC for DaqBook/200 and DaqBook/260.

Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia.

Calculating Your System’s Power Needs

Use the chart below and the worktable on the next page to ensure your system will have sufficient power. If the load (calculated in the worktable) exceeds available power (from the chart at the right), you must add a power card or a module such as a DBK32A or DBK33.

		Product		Available Power
		DBK32		7500 mW
		DBK32A		15000 mW
	DBK33			7500 mW
		DBK34		5 A-hr in 12 V mode; fused at 8 A
		DBK34A		5 A-hr in 12 V mode; fused at 8 A

Use the following procedure and table to calculate the required system power.

1.In the Quantity column (5th), list the number of DBKs of that type in your system.

2.In the Sub Total column (7th), enter the product of column 5 and column 6 (mW).

3.Add the Sub Total column, and enter the sum at the bottom right of the table. This result is your power requirement in mW.

DBK32, DBK32A, and DBK34 cannot supply +5 VDC. In cases that require +5 VDC, if the +5 VDC requirement exceeds 500 mW from a LogBook or Daq device, then a DBK33 must be used. Note that DBK33 can supply 1000 mW at +5 VDC.

Note: The DBK34 has an 8 amp fuse, and has a capacity of 5 A-hr when in the 12V mode, and a capacity of 2.5 A-hr when in the 24V mode.

Total Power Requirement in mW

Note 1: DBK44’s 60 mA value is based on 30 mA for each of two 5B modules. This value will be higher if using 5B module 5B38 (200 mA for each 5B38), or if using 5B39 (170 mA for each 5B39). Refer to the DBK44 document module for more information.

Note 2: DBK2 and DBK5 are not used with LogBook.

***Three asterisks indicate that the DBK is a module with internal power supply; powered separately.

This table is continued.
