Connector Panel
The connector panel for the Series 4400 Control Con-
sole (Figure 3-1) is located on the rear of the console
unit. The components on this panel are described below.
The load frame, load cell, strain channel and recorder ca-
bles connect directly to the console at connectors pro-
vided for the purpose. All of the connectors are standard
D-shell connectors.
TEST - Connector used by Instron Service person-
nel for testing the IEEE-488 interface. An IEEE-488
Service Test printed circuit board, which is available
only to service personnel, is required to run this test.
IEEE 488 - the connector for cabling from the IEEE
compatible digital interface to a programmable com-
puter.
RS-232 OUT - a connector used mainly for output
to a printer with an RS-232 interface capability. Can
also be used for other RS-232 devices.
FRAME - a connector for cabling between the load
frame and the control console.
STRAIN - a connector for cabling from a strain
measuring extensometer.
ANALOG OUT - the parallel outputs of the signals
used for recorder operation, made available for sig-
nal monitoring purposes on devices such as a re-
corder.
LOAD - a connector for cabling from the load cell
transducer.
