52 EX10xxA Preparation for Use
Voltage Connections
The EX1000A, EX1016A and EX1032A have 50-pin D-sub receptacles for the voltage input
channels. These channels are differential inputs and are mapped as pairs (see Table 2-3). The center
row of each 50-pin D-sub is connected to chassis GND. This allows for optimized shield termination
when using shielded pair wiring.
FIGURE 2-12: VOLTAGE CONNECTOR PIN LOCATIONS
Pins 1 and 34 are used for connecting a remote thermistor to the internal signal conditioning circuits.
This is used when an external cold plate is being used for temperature measurement. The
recommended thermistor is U.S. Sensor P/N: PS103J2 or PS103J2-RoHS. This device is 10 kΩ at
25 °C with ±0.1 ºC initial accuracy and the 0 °C to 50 °C BETA is 3890. The thermistor path, within
the EX10xxA product, is single ended and designed to be connected to an electrically isolated
thermistor. The use of a grounded thermistor is not recommended.
