DI-78B 8B Module Channel Expander
The DI-78B is a sixteen-channel, 8B-module expansion device for DI-720, DI-722, and DI-730 instruments. Each
DI-78B accepts up to sixteen high performance, plug-in signal conditioning modules, expanding the measurement
capability of DI-720 and DI-730 instruments to include virtually any isolated, industrial-type signal. Each DI-78B is
provided with the appropriate cable to connect it to its host instrument.
Each DI-78B channel consumes one channel from its host instrument in return for the isolated, signal-conditioned
input it provides. One DI-78B instrument may be connected to any DI-720 or DI-730 instrument. Signal connections
are made to the DI-78B through four removable screw terminal blocks. Power is obtained from the host DI-720 or
DI-730 instrument through the supplied, dual-ended power cable.
Connecting the DI-78B to the Host Instrument
Note: The included expansion signal cable and the dual ended power cable are sized to fit when the DI-78B is
stacked on top of (or under) the host instrument. If the instruments are not in a stacked configuration, do so before
proceeding.
1.
Connect one end of the included expansion signal cable to EXPANSION on the rear panel of the host instrument.
2.
Connect the other end of the expansion signal cable to EXPANSION IN on the rear panel of the DI-78B.
Applying Power to the DI-78B
A separate power supply is not required. Power is obtained from the host DI-720 or DI-730 instrument through the
dual-ended power cable supplied with the DI-78B. Modules should be installed before power is applied to the instru-
ment. See “Installing DI-8B Modules” on page 54 for instructions on installing 8B modules.
1.
Unplug the five-pin DIN end of the power adapter cable that is currently supplying power to your DI-720 or DI-
730 and plug it into one of the DI-78B’s power jacks.
2.
Plug one end of the dual -ended power cable into the remaining power jack in the DI-78B and plug the other end
into the host instrument power jack.
