DBK215 
If you are not using a TB-100 terminal board connection option with your DaqBoard/3000 Series board 
you can, instead, make use of a DBK215 module.  The DBK215 includes:  
o
  BNC Access to 16 inputs or outputs (on front panel) 
o
  on-board screw-terminal blocks*  
o
  on-board socket locations for custom RC Filter networks*  
o
  68-pin SCSI connector (on rear panel) 
 
* The top cover plate must be removed to access the terminal blocks and 
the RC filter network section of the DBK215’s board.
 
 
The 68-pin SCSI connector (P5) connects to the DaqBoard/3000 Series board’s 68-pin SCSI connector via 
a CA-G55, CA-G56, or CA-G56-6 cable.  
The DBK215 provides BNC and screw-terminal access to all analog and digital I/O from the host data 
acquisition device.  Related to the screw-terminals is a front panel slot for routing all I/O wiring. 
 
 
Reference Notes
The remainder of this chapter focuses on the PDQ30 Analog Expansion option.   For details regarding using 
DaqBoard/3000 Series boards with DBK215 refer to Appendix A. 
 
 
PDQ30 
PDQ30 is an optional analog expansion module that, when connected to a DaqBoard/3000 series device, 
adds an additional 48 analog inputs.  The features of the expansion channels are identical to the board’s 
main channels, with exception that the PDQ30 channels can measure temperature when in differential 
mode.  Refer to PDQ30 specifications sheet for channel input specifications. 
With exception of DaqBoard/3006, a PDQ30 can be connected to a DaqBoard/3000 Series board via a 
three-foot long HDMI cable (CA-266-3) or a six-foot long cable (CA-266-6).  The cable runs from the 
board’s HDMI connector to the PDQ30’s DB25 connector. 
DaqBoard/3006 has no HDMI connector. 
Connection Tips  
CAUTION 
 
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting 
cables or signal lines.  Electric shock or damage to equipment can result even under 
low-voltage conditions. 
 
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.) 
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components.  Only handle 
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable).  Ensure boards do not come into 
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate. 
 
1.  Ensure power is removed from all device(s) to be connected.  
2.  Observe ESD precautions when handling the board and making connections. 
3.  PDQ30’s DB25 connector connects to a DaqBoard/3000 Series boards’ HDMI connector via 
a CA-266-3 cable.  The cable is 3 feet long. 
4.  Refer to the Declaration of Conformity in regard to meeting CE requirements.
