The top panel of the instrument is equipped with the following connectors:
- Ethernet port. Connects to a standard 8P8C ('RJ45') male plug terminator
- USB host port. Connects to an external USB memory device for data import and export.
- USB socket. Provides a data connection between the instrument and a host computer equipped with vbXManager software
- Charger power socket (12 Volt 3 Amp input). This may be used to power the instrument and/or to charge the instrument's battery pack
- BNC sensor input (Channel 1)
- BNC sensor input (Channel 2) OR LEMO seven-pin input* (Channels 2 to 4)
- LEMO four-pin tachometer input
Note: vbBalancer instruments with serial numbers below 40800 are not equipped with USB host ports.
* This feature is only available on vbBalancer+ instrument model
Note: The comms and charger area's protective rubber gasket should be kept closed and in place when collecting data in the field. Doing so will help maintain the environmental sealing of the instrument case. IP65 rating (for instruments with serial number 40500 and higher) applies only while the gasket is securely in place.
