11 – Connect internal signals
Connect signal inputs from DBK cards to termination panels. DBK cards connect to the termination panels in
various ways (see the following figure). Refer to the DBK options manual (p/n 457-0905) as needed.
• Single-ended connections use analog common.
• Differential connections require the proper polarity, typically red-to-red for high (+) and
black-to-black for low (-).
• For thermocouples, red is generally the low side, and the T/C connector and wire type must match the
thermocouple type used.
12 – Install termination panels
Mount the termination panels to the card drawer with two screws for each panel.
13 – Install card drawer

continue inserting it until it engages with the P1 interconnect board.
