GETTING STARTED GUIDE

NI 9242

3 AI/1 Neutral, 250 Vrms L-N/400 Vrms L-L,

24 Bit, 50 kS/s/ch Simultaneous

This document explains how to connect to the NI 9242.

Note Before you begin, complete the software and

hardware installation procedures in your chassis

documentation.

Note The guidelines in this document are specific to

the NI 9242. 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 9242 only as described in this document.

Caution Do not operate the NI 9242 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.

Safety Voltages

Connect only voltages that are within the following limits.

Maximum working voltage, channel-to earth ground

Continuous 250 Vrms,

Measurement Category III

Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous locations applications

Channel-to-earth

ground

250 Vrms,

Measurement Category III

Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the

building installation at the distribution level. This category refers

to measurements on hard-wired hardware such as hardware in

fixed installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other

examples are wiring, including cables, bus bars, junction boxes,

switches, socket outlets in the fixed installation, and stationary

motors with permanent connections to fixed installations.

Caution Do not connect the NI 9242 to signals or use

for measurements within Measurement Category 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 9967 connector backshell kit to ensure that the

terminals are not accessible.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The NI 9242 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 you are installing the

NI 9242 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.

Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,

install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP54

as defined by IEC/EN 60079-15.

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in

Europe and Internationally

The NI 9242 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment

under DEMKO Certificate No. 12 ATEX 1202658X and is

IECEx UL 14.0089X certified. Each NI 9242 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 9242

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 The system shall only be used in an area of

not more than Pollution Degree 2, as defined in

IEC 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.
