6.5 Interchangeability of KDM-8200 & KDM-8206 Measuring
Modules
KDM-8206 and KDM-8200 Measuring Modules are physically interchangeable in a 3U/84HP rack
enclosure. In general, a KDM-8206 Measuring Module can be used in a KDM-8200 rack and a KDM-
8200 Measuring Module can be used in a KDM-8206 rack enclosure. However, note the following
comments and precautions:
1. The Euro connector pin outs for main connections (input power, ground, voltage output,
sensor input) are identical on both systems.
2. Both systems require +15 and –15 VDC input. However, the KDM-8200 system requires a
linear power supply, as provided in a KDM-8200 rack enclosure. The KDM-8206
incorporates more input voltage filtering and can use a switching power supply, as provided
in a KDM-8206 rack enclosure. Installing a KDM-8200 measuring channel in a KDM-8206
rack will increase noise on the output signal.
3. KDM-8200 and KDM-8206 Measuring Channels cannot be mixed in the same rack. Their
oscillator and synchronization signals are incompatible.
4. A KDM-8206 Measuring Channel configured for differential output cannot be used in a KDM-
8200 rack. Damage to the measuring channel PCB will result.
5. Some KDM-8200 racks were configured for function modules. A KDM-8206 Measuring
Channel cannot be used in these racks.
6. Sensor connectors are different between the two systems. The KDM-8200 sensors have
single or dual SMA connectors depending on sensor construction. All KDM-8206 sensors
have TBNC connectors.
