NI-9472 Getting Started
Overview
This document explains how to connect to the NI-9472. In this document, the
NI-9472 with screw terminal, NI-9472 with spring terminal, and NI-9472 with DSUB
are referred to inclusively as the NI-9472.
Note Before you begin, read the NI-9472 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-9472. 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

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.

de mesure III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour eectuer des mesures dans ces
catégories.
Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly
connected to the electrical distribution system. This category refers to local-level
electrical distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet, for example,
115 V for U.S. or 230 V for Europe.

Caution Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements
within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Attention Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les catégories
de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour eectuer des mesures dans
ces catégories.
Warning Do not connect the product to signals or use for measurements
within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV, or for measurements on MAINs
circuits or on circuits derived from Overvoltage Category II, III, or IV which
may have transient overvoltages above what the product can withstand.
The product must not be connected to circuits that have a maximum
voltage above the continuous working voltage, relative to earth or to
other channels, or this could damage and defeat the insulation. The
product can only withstand transients up to the transient overvoltage
rating without breakdown or damage to the insulation. An analysis of
the working voltages, loop impedances, temporary overvoltages, and
transient overvoltages in the system must be conducted prior to making
measurements.
Mise en garde Ne pas connecter le produit à des signaux dans les
catégories de mesure II, III ou IV et ne pas l'utiliser pour des mesures dans
ces catégories, ou des mesures sur secteur ou sur des circuits dérivés de
surtensions de catégorie II, III ou IV pouvant présenter des surtensions
transitoires supérieures à ce que le produit peut supporter. Le produit
ne doit pas être raccordé à des circuits ayant une tension maximale
supérieure à la tension de fonctionnement continu, par rapport à la
terre ou à d'autres voies, sous peine d'endommager et de compromettre
l'isolation. Le produit peut tomber en panne et son isolation risque
d'être endommagée si les tensions transitoires dépassent la surtension
transitoire nominale. Une analyse des tensions de fonctionnement, des
impédances de boucle, des surtensions temporaires et des surtensions

transitoires dans le système doit être eectuée avant de procéder à des
mesures.
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS
is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is
for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such
voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy
parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and
electronics.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test
and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct
connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories
CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
You can connect hazardous voltages only to the NI-9472 with screw terminal and the
NI-9472 with spring terminal. Do not connect hazardous voltages to the NI-9472 with
DSUB.
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.
Caution 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-9472 with screw terminal and the
NI 9981 connector backshell kit with the NI-9472 with spring terminal to
ensure that the terminals are not accessible.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI-9472 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-9472 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
