manuals
The TB-4300/B/C terminal blocks are designed for use with the following module as specified:
NI PXIe-4300 ................................................... 10 V maximum voltage measurement range,
TB-4300.................................................... 10 V maximum voltage measurement range,
TB-4300B ................................................. 300 V maximum voltage measurement range,
TB-4300C ................................................. 20 mA maximum current measurement range,
The keying of these terminal blocks prevent them from connecting to other
Note
modules that could be damaged by the voltage present on the terminal block.
However, you should only use these terminal blocks with their supported modules.
Caution
terminal block without the terminal block being connected to the NI PXIe-4300.
