A Note Regarding WBK Option Cards and Modules
Reference Note: The following WBK options can be used with StrainBook systems.
o WBK16/LC is discussed in chapter 6 of this user’s manual.
o Refer to the WBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 489-0902) for detailed information
regarding other WBK options. A PDF version of the document is included on the data acquisition CD.

Expansion Module
* WBK11A, WBK12A, and WBK13A cannot be used directly with StrainBook. Each requires mounting within a
WBK10A if it is to be used in a StrainBook system.
** SSH is Simultaneous Sample and Hold
StrainBook Fan
The internal components of StrainBook/616 are air-cooled. Cooling to ambient occurs as long
as the surrounding environment is cooler than the unit. When the unit becomes too warm for
ambient cooling, a temperature sensor signals the fan to run.
Fan speed varies according to the unit’s internal temperature. In cooler temperatures the fan
operates at lower speeds, thus reducing audible noise.
To allow for sufficient cooling, it is important to keep the fan and vents free of obstruction.
