CABLING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING RJ45 MONITORING CABLES
The OP5700 simulator offers quick, single-ended connections, through RJ45 and mini BNC connectors,
to any monitoring device (i.e. oscilloscope, etc.). These mini-BNC jacks let you monitor 4 channels
individually. Simply follow these instructions (as illustrated in Figure 5):
CAUTION
The monitoring board has a gain of 0.1 to allow a broader range of signals to be read.
Oscilloscopes must be adjusted with a gain of 10 to compensate and ensure accurate
readings.
Only connect RJ45 cables from upper section (A) monitoring jacks to lower section monitoring
panel (B, as shown). Connecting any other cable or device may result in damage to the
equipment.
