Expansion Chassis, CSN/Exp (Option)
You can add up to 64 additional analog channels to ChartScan by using a CSN/Exp expansion chassis. The
expansion chassis accepts the same types of signal conditioning cards as the ChartScan unit, and is powered and
controlled by the ChartScan unit.

command is available to query ChartScan for the total number of channels in
the system.
Note:
Only one expansion chassis can be connected to a ChartScan unit.
Note:
The rear panel of the expansion chassis contains no controls, indicators, input or output connections.
Connecting the Expansion Chassis
A ribbon cable electronically connects the expansion chassis to the main unit. No additional power or interface
cables are required. A set of mounting blocks and machine screws is used to physically connect the expansion
chassis to ChartScan. Perform the following steps to install an expansion chassis.
