Installation Guide
The first page of this instruction sheet pertains to connecting a PDQ30 option to a DaqBoard/3000 Series device. The
remainder of the document pertains to connecting PDQ30 to a Personal Daq/3000 Series device.
PDQ30 is an optional analog expansion module that, when connected to a DaqBoard/3000 series or Personal Daq/3000
Series device, adds an additional 48 analog inputs to the acquisition system. PDQ30 can measure 48 channels of voltage or
24 channels of temperature. Temperature channels require Differential Mode. Refer to PDQ30 specifications for channel
input parameters. The specifications are included in both the DaqBoard/3000 Series and Personal Daq/3000 Series User’s
Manuals.
Connecting PDQ30 to a DaqBoard/3000 Series Device
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,
or a CA-266-6 cable (3-ft. and 6-ft., respectively). Cables are sold separately.
4. Refer to the Declaration of Conformity in regard to meeting CE requirements.
The HDMI connector can be used to connect a PDQ30 Analog Expansion Module to a DaqBoard/3000 Series board.
A CA-266-3 HDMI cable is used for this purpose.
