GDM-SC1 Scanner Card
SCANNER CARD
The optional scanner, GDM-SC1, lets you effectively
measure multiple channels when connected to a
GDM-8255A, GDM-8261 or GDM-8261A multimeter.
Up to two GDM-SC1 scanner cards can be installed into
the GDM-8255A or one GDM-SC1 into the GDM-8261
or GDM-8261A. If two scanner cards are installed, one
can be selected as the master scanner (channel 1), and the
other as the slave (channel 2).

Select Channel group and enable scanner
Background
When 2 scanner modules are installed in the
GDM-8255A, 2 groups of 18 channels each are available.
The scanner modules have a jumper to configure which
scanner is for which group. If only one scanner is
installed, the scanner should always be configured to
group 1(CH101~CH118).
The GDM-8255A can have up to 2 scanner modules
installed, whilst the GDM-8261/GDM-8261A can have
only 1 scanner module installed.
Group1
CH101 ~ 118
Group2
CH201 ~ 218
Select group
(Jumper J8)
Set the jumper J8 in the center of the board accordingly.
Move the jumper to the right (pins 2-3) for selecting
CH1xx (101 ~ 118), and move to the left (pins 1-2) for
selecting CH2xx (201 ~ 218). If two scanners are
installed, set one scanner to Master (CH1xx) and the
other to Slave. If only one scanner is installed, set the
jumper to Master.

2. Route the wires as follows, using the two openings
(left and right) at the front cover.
Note
When using thermocouple wiring, please use
extension wires so that the cold junction points are
external to the scanner card. Connecting
thermocouple wiring directly to the scanner box is
not recommended due to the radiant heat from the
internal components.
