Mounting one, two, or three DBK90 Modules to a DBK60 –
Using Kit # 1109-0803
Mounting kit p/n 1109-0803 is used to mount up to three DBK90 modules to a DBK60. The mounting kit
includes two splice plates and the necessary screws.
Note: Kit 1109-0803 is for use with a DBK60 that has no molded protective ears.
The ears would interfere with the kit’s splice plates.
Three DBK90 Modules Mounted to a DBK60 via Kit # 1109-0803
Note that the DBK60 and the splice-plates each have a length of 13 inches.
1. If you are attaching an optional handle:
(a) Position the handle’s mounting holes over the indicated holes in one splice plate.
(b) Secure the handle by threading screws through the counter-sunk holes on the
opposite side of the splice plate.
2. Align the lower three screw-holes of the splice-plate with the mating holes on the DBK60.
3. Secure the splice-plate to the DBK60 using three of the provided screws. Note that the
screws are 8-32 x 1/4 Phillips Pan Head Screws.
4. Secure the second splice-plate to the other side of the DBK60.
5. Position a DBK90 module such that its male P1 connector is located on the same plane as the
P1 connector of the DBK60.
6. Align the two lower screw holes of the DBK90 module with those on the splice-plate [the
side nearest the DBK60’s P1 connector] (see figure).
7. Use two of the provided screws to secure the DBK90 module to the splice-plate. Repeat this
step for the other side of the assembly.
8. If you are connecting a second and/or third DBK90 module:
(a) Mate the female P1 connector of the second [or third] DBK90 module with the male
P1 connector of the previously mounted DBK90 module.
(b) Secure the second [or third] DBK90 module to the two splice-plates using two
screws per side (see figure).
9. Connect one end of a DB37 cable to the first DBK90’s male P1 connector (see figure).
10. Connect the other end of the DB37 cable to the male P1 connector of the DBK60.
Note 1: A female-to-female 37 pin connector can be used to connect a DBK90 to the host data
acquisition device. The use of a CA-143-x shielded cable is recommended for scenarios in
which signal noise is a problem. Page 14 of this section includes a list of cables compatible
with DBK90 use.
This completes the procedure.
