help identifying this pcb block ...thing

Waestrel

hey all

Can anyone identify what this PCB block type connection is? It seems to have a wired black connection attached. No one , not even radionics can identify it.

EDIT: image now attached!

I'm not seeing any image OP

Is there any codes printed on it? What's it from?

It looks like a Phoenix Contact MKDS series.

I presume its the black moulded part you are asking...
Maybe its just a complicated way of allowing parallel connections to the panel

Is it an alarm panel ?

Guys, its from a data logger setup that I am trying to replicate. I gather its a green pcb block, but the black rear to it and the black wire is what I am trying to identify.

Where does the other end of the black wire go ?

The other end goes into a different port on the logger, to some kind of excitiation output port.

Attachment not found.

Multimeter time. If nothing's printed on it check for inductance, resistance, diode drop, capacitance, operating voltage, etc.
Have you an appliance schematic?

It's for a strain gauge or a platinum thermometer or some other yoke that needs termination , plugged into campbell datalogger ?

you need to suss which one you need or you'll kill the sensor :
