Step 4 – Connect Input Signals
CAUTION! Use approved ESD precautions, including static-free work area and grounded wrist strap, when
handling circuit boards and electronic components. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage due to
electrostatic discharge.
Insert the appropriate wires into the selected screw-terminal sockets of your scanning card to make the channel input connections. Each
scanning card contains screw-terminal blocks for making quick input connections. Labeling is provided on the card for channel
identification. Note that tie-wraps can be used in conjunction with the card’s tie-down holes to provide strain relief and to keep the
channel wires organized.
When making differential voltage measurements, you should ensure that one of the common terminal blocks is
connected to the common of the unit being measured.
CAUTION! TempScan/1100 scanning cards are designed for and supported only by the TempScan/1100 master
unit. MultiScan/1200 scanning cards are designed for and supported only by the MultiScan/1200 master unit. Use
of a wrong card can cause operating errors and possibly damage equipment.
