Open Thermocouple Detection

The DBK90 is equipped with open thermocouple detection for each channel. This means that a broken

thermocouple wire [or otherwise unconnected input] that is measured will result in an off-scale reading.

This is accomplished by applying a small bias current to each of the channel inputs. Whenever a valid

input is absent, the bias current saturates the input amplifier, resulting in the off-scale reading.

Module Configuration

Up to sixteen DBK90 modules can be attached to a single DaqBook/2000 Series device, WBK40, or

WBK41. Since multiple modules are connected via a parallel interface, each must have a unique channel

address.

CAUTION

Adjustment of the channel address must only be performed when the system

power is OFF. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.

To assign a channel address to the DBK90 module, first locate the DIP switch on the unit’s underside (the

side opposite of the mini-TC connectors). Four micro-switches [on the DIP switch] are used to set the

module’s channel address in binary. After ensuring that the system power is OFF, adjust the micro-

switches to set the desired address. The following figure shows DIP switch settings for the 16 possible

addresses.

Each module in the system must have a unique address.
