NI-9206 Getting Started

Overview

This document explains how to connect to the NI 9206.

Note Before you begin, complete the soware and hardware installation

procedures in your chassis documentation.

Note The guidelines in this document are specific to the NI 9206. 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

Operate the NI 9206 only as described in this document.

Caution This icon denotes a caution, which advises you to consult

documentation where this symbol is marked.

NI-9206 Getting Started

Caution Do not operate the NI 9206 in a manner not specified in this

document. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the

safety protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any

way. If the product is damaged, return it to NI for repair.

Hazardous Voltage This icon denotes a warning advising you to take

precautions to avoid electrical shock with the NI 9206.

Safety Voltages

Connect only voltages that are within the following limits:

Maximum voltage[1]

AI, PFI0, and D0 to COM ±30 V DC

1 The maximum voltage that can be applied or output between AI and COM without

creating a safety hazard.

Isolation Voltages

Channel-to-channel None

Channel-to-earth ground

Continuous

U.S. (UL 61010-1) 600 V DC, Measurement Category I

Europe (IEC 61010-1) 400 V DC, Measurement Category I

Withstand 2,500 V PK, verified by a 5 s dielectric withstand test

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.

Caution Do not connect the NI 9206 to signals or use for measurements

within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

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

If hazardous voltages are connected to the device, take the following precautions. A

hazardous voltage is a voltage greater than 42.4 Vpk voltage or 60 VDC to earth

ground.

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 VDC), you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the

module are properly insulated from human contact. You must use the

NI 9941 backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.

NI-9206 Getting Started

Caution In addition to attaching the connector backshell to the NI 9206,

you must install the entire system in a UL Listed, suitably rated NEMA or IP

enclosure for safe use.

Figure 1. NI 9206 in a Suitably UL Rated NEMA or IP Enclosure

2. NI 9206 with NI 9941 connector backshell installed

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The NI 9206 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 9206 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.

NI-9206 Getting Started

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 9206 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment under DEMKO 03

ATEX 0324020X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X certified. Each NI 9206 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 9206 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.

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

NI-9206 Getting Started

regulatory rules.

Special Conditions for Marine Applications

Some products are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for marine (shipboard)

applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification for a product, visit ni.com/

certification and search for the LR certificate, or look for the Lloyd’s Register mark

on the product.

Caution 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

designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes and cables to

ensure that the desired EMC performance is attained.

Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI 9206 meets the following

specifications.

Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) -40 °C to 70 °C
