Rigol M3TB16 ACT Terminal Box Terminal block for MC3416.

Terminal block accessory for M300 DAQ system modules with model numbers ending in 16.

Measurement Connections Using External Terminal Blocks 
M300 provides 6 kinds of terminal blocks to easily connect the signal to be measured to the module. The models of the terminal blocks and corresponding modules are listed in the table below. This section introduces how to use the external block.

Note: for the MC3724, the signal can be connected to the SMB connectors on the module directly. No terminal block is needed.

WARNING: Cut off all the power supplies before opening the terminal block or removing the terminal block from the module. 

1. Place the terminal block with the front (with the RIGOL caption) facing downward and pull the two latches in the arrow direction in the figure below and press them down. Place the terminal block with the front facing upward and pull the upper cover of the terminal block upward and remove it.

2. Connect the cables for connecting the signal under test according to the labels on the circuit board of the terminal block (for the connecting method, refer to Table 1-1). Pass the binding wires through the two groups of holes as pointed out by the arrows in the figure below to fix the cable connected. Pay attention to the channel or terminal connected to the cable to ensure that the signal connected is correct.

3. Connect the terminal block to the module via interface 1 (the interface definition is in Figure 1-7) on the module and screw down the two screw rods onto the nuts on the module.

4. Close the upper cover of the terminal block.

5. Insert the module with the terminal block into the slot of the mainframe.
