NI-9263 Getting Started
Overview
This document explains how to connect to the NI-9263. In this document, the
NI-9263 with screw terminal and the NI-9263 with spring terminal are referred to
inclusively as the NI-9263.
Note Before you begin, read the NI-9263 Safety, Environmental, and
Regulatory Information document on ni.com/manuals and complete the
soware and hardware installation procedures in your chassis
documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to the NI-9263. The
other components in the system might not meet the same safety ratings.
Refer to the documentation for each component in the system to
determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire system.
Safety Guidelines
Caution Observe all instructions and cautions in the user documentation.
Using the product in a manner not specified can damage the product and
compromise the built-in safety protection.
Attention Suivez toutes les instructions et respectez toutes les mises
en garde de la documentation d'utilisation. L'utilisation du produit de
toute autre façon que celle spécifiée risque de l'endommager et de
compromettre la protection de sécurité intégrée.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by
qualified personnel adhering to local electrical standards.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible
circuits on the same module.
Caution Ensure that devices and circuits connected to the module are
properly insulated from human contact.
Note When module terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/
60 V DC), you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the
module are properly insulated from human contact. You must use the
NI-9927 connector backshell kit with the NI-9263 with screw terminal and
the NI-9981 connector backshell kit with the NI-9263 with spring terminal
to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.
Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are within the following limits:
Channel-to-channel None
Channel-to-earth ground
Continuous 250 V RMS, Measurement Category II
Withstand 2,300 V RMS, verified by a 5 s dielectric withstand test
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI-9263 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous
locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 Gc and Ex nA IIC T4 Gc hazardous locations;
and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the

NI-9263 Getting Started
NI-9263 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may
result in serious injury or death.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors unless power has
been switched o or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been switched o or
the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2, or Zone 2.
Caution The system must be installed in an enclosure certified for the
intended hazardous (classified) location, having a tool secured cover/door,
where a minimum protection of at least IP54 is provided.
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe and
Internationally
The NI-9263 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment under
DEMKO 07ATEX 0626664X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X certified. Each NI-9263 is marked
II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient
temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI-9263 in Gas Group IIC
hazardous locations, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been
evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, Ex IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Caution Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not
exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value of 85 V at the supply
terminals to the equipment.
Caution The system shall only be used in an area of not more than
Pollution Degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 60664-1.

NI-9263 Getting Started
Caution The system shall be mounted in an ATEX/IECEx-certified
enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as
defined in IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution The enclosure must have a door or cover accessible only by the
use of a tool.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines
This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits
for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These
requirements and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the product is operated in the intended operational electromagnetic
environment.
This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful
interference may occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a
peripheral device or test object, or if the product is used in residential or
commercial areas. To minimize interference with radio and television reception and
prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this product in strict
accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved
by National Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local
regulatory rules.
Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some products are approved for marine (shipboard) applications. To verify marine
approval certification for a product, visit ni.com/product-certifications, search by
model number, and click the appropriate link.
Notice In order to meet the EMC requirements for marine applications,
install the product in a shielded enclosure with shielded and/or filtered
power and input/output ports. In addition, take precautions when
