The new OMB-DBK81/82/83/84 are
designed to provide very low noise
thermocouple and milli-volt
measurements, with high accuracy and
very close tracking between channels.
These new models provide
thermocouple accuracy of better than
0.5°C, and noise that is typically less
than 0.2°C p-p, with no digital
averaging required.
The performance of these new
OMB-DBK cards is enabled through
their use of very low-noise amplifiers
on every channel. Built-in cold junction
The OMB-DBK81 provides 7 differential
thermocouple/mV inputs, and installs into
any OMB-LOGBOOK and OMB-DBK
enclosure. The OMB-DBK81 provides
on-board screw-terminals for connection
of thermocouple/ mV signals directly to
the card.
The OMB-DBK82 provides 14 differential
channels of thermocouple/mV inputs, and
is physically taller than other OMB-DBK
cards. The OMB-DBK82 installs into an
OMB-DBK60 where it can be wired
directly to the mini-thermocouple
connector panels. Note that the OMBDBK82 will not install into a single-height
slot in the OMB-DBK10. Further, the
OMB-DBK82 consumes two expansion
slots in the OMB-DBK41 10-slot
enclosure.
compensation and software-based
linearization automatically provides
you with quiet and stable temperature
measurements, with no need to deal
with the usual complexities associated
with thermocouple measurements.
All software that supports the
OMB-DAQBOARD-2000 Series and
OMB-LOGBOOK also support these
new OMB-DBK options, providing you
with accurate and stable temperature
readings on every channel. Four
different models are offered so you can
choose the one that best fits your
application.

The OMB-DBK83 provides
14 differential channels of input (like the
OMB-DBK82), but instead of on-board
screw-terminals, it includes an external
thermocouple/mV connection pod with
removable screw-terminals. This allows
the OMB-DBK83 to install into single-slot housings,
including the OMB-DBK10 and the OMB-DBK41.
The OMB-DBK83 also allows thermocouple connections
to reside away from the OMB-LOGBOOK or
OMB-DAQBOARD-2000, reducing the length of
thermocouple wire required. The OMB-DBK83 also
makes it easy to remove all signal connections by
disconnecting one cable from the pod, or by removing
the 15-pin screw-terminal connection. A 1 meter
(3ft) cable is included with the OMB-DBK83.
The OMB-DBK84 is a 14-channel module with
built-in mini-thermocouple connectors. The
OMB-DBK84 can mechanically attach directly
to any OMB-LOGBOOK or OMB-DBK modules
or enclosures. The OMB-DBK84 is best suited
for applications where mini-thermocouple
connectors are in use, and where quick
attachment and removal of thermocouples
is desired.
