Associated Cables
CA-115 Power Cables. CA-115 cables are 6 inches long and have two 5-pin male DIN
connectors. CA-115s are frequently used to link WaveBook’s POWER OUT connector to a WBK
expansion module’s POWER IN connector. CA-115 cables are also used to link an expansion
module’s POWER OUT connector to the next daisy-chained module’s POWER IN connector.
CA-115 cables and the device DIN5 connectors (see following figure) are limited to 5 amps
at 15 VDC.

DIN 5 Power Pinout*
Power is supplied to WaveBook modules via a DIN5
type connector located on the rear panel of the
device.
*The DIN5 pinout [to the left] is based on an external
view of a WaveBook rear panel.
Note: An optional CA-116 power cable is available. The CA-116 permits the system to be plugged into
a vehicle cigarette lighter, allowing use of the vehicle’s battery as a power supply for the
WaveBook device.
Calculate system amp load prior to creating a system daisy-chain. Although WaveBook
device connectors and CA-115 and CA-116 power cables have 5 amp limits, TR-40Us are
limited to 3.33 amps. Tables for determining amp load are provided in the following
section,
Calculating System Power.
CA-129 Expansion Control Cables. Control messages are carried by CA-129 expansion-control
cables with HD-15, plug and socket connectors. The first expansion unit’s control input is driven
from the main unit’s control output. Control inputs of additional WBK modules are driven from
the preceding unit’s control output.
CA-150 Expansion Signal Cables. Expansion signals are carried by a CA-150-1 male BNC to
male BNC coaxial cable. Each WBK module drives a common analog bus that carries the signals
to WaveBook’s Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Each WBK module has EXPANSION
SIGNAL IN and EXPANSION SIGNAL OUT connectors for daisy-chaining multiple units.
