Safety Guidelines

Operate the NI 9214 only as described in these operating

instructions.

Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be

hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages

If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the

following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater

than 42.4 Vpk 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 Make sure 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), youmust ensure that devices

and circuits connected to the module are properly

insulated from human contact. Youmust use the

NI TB-9214 terminal block included with the NI 9214

to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.

Figure 1 shows the NI TB-9214 terminal block.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The NI 9214 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, and

Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations

only. Follow these guidelines if youare installing the NI 9214 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 off or the area is known

to be nonhazardous.

Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been

switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

Caution Substitution of components may impair

suitability for Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2.

Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications, install

the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as

defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529.

Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,

connected signals must be within the following limit:

Capacitance .......................... 0.2 F max

COM

NI_9214.fm Page 8 Monday, November 1, 2010 9:52 AM

Youcan connect thermocouple input signals to the NI 9214.

Connect the positive lead of the thermocouple to the TC+ terminal

and the negative lead of the thermocouple to the TC– terminal. If

youare unsure which of the thermocouple leads is positive and

which is negative, check the thermocouple documentation or the

thermocouple wire spool.

The NI 9214 also has two common terminals, COM, that are

internally connected to the isolated ground reference of the

module. A connection to COM is not necessary for most

applications. Specifically, leave COM unconnected for

configurations in which all thermocouples are floating, all

thermocouples are referenced to the same common-mode voltage,

or one thermocouple is referenced to a common-mode voltage and

all others are floating.

However, for configurations in which two or more thermocouples

are referenced to different common-mode voltages, connecting

COM according to the following guidelines improves

common-mode rejection performance. Connect COM to chassis

ground if the common-mode to chassis voltages are smaller than

±1.2 V. Otherwise, connect COM to a valid common-mode voltage

reference that is within ±1.2 V of the common-mode voltages of all

the thermocouple inputs.

Connecting the Signals

To connect thermocouple wires to the NI TB-9214, complete the

following steps while referring to Figure 3.

1. Loosen the captive screws and remove the top cover.

2. Remove the foam pad from the NI TB-9214 opening.

3. Prepare the screw-terminal wire by stripping the outer

insulation and inner insulation. Refer to the Specifications

section for more information on screw-terminal wiring.

4. Insert the stripped end of the wire fully into the appropriate

terminal. Make sure no exposed wire extends past the screw

terminal.

5. Secure the connection by tightening the screw for the terminal.

Refer to the Specifications section for information on

screw-terminal torque.

6. Route the wire through the NI TB-9214 opening.

7. Remove slack in the NI TB-9214 wiring and secure the wires

by threading a zip tie through the two strain relief holes on the

NI TB-9214 opening.
