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.

NI-9147 Getting Started
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
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-9147 meets the following
specifications.
Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) -40 °C to 70 °C
Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-78) 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing
Pollution Degree 2
Maximum altitude 5,000 m
Indoor use only.
Note Refer to the device specifications on ni.com/manuals for complete
specifications.
Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the
device, ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object, such as your computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose
components or any other sign of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the device in the antistatic package when the device is not in use.
Verifying the Kit Contents
Verify that the following items are included in the NI-9147 kit.
Installing Soware on the Host Computer
Before using the NI-9147, you must install the following application soware and
device drivers on the host computer in this order:
1. LabVIEW 2014 SP1 or later
2. LabVIEW FPGA Module 2014 SP1 or later
3. NI-RIO Device Drivers 14.5 or later
For minimum soware support information, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info
Code swsupport.
1 LabVIEW FPGA Module is not required when using Scan Interface mode. To
program the user-accessible FPGA on the NI-9147, LabVIEW FPGA Module is
required.
Installing C Series Modules
Complete the following steps to install a C Series module.

1. Verify that power is not connected to the I/O connector(s) on the C Series
module. If the system is in a nonhazardous location, the NI-9147 can be
powered on when you install modules.
2. Press the latches on the C Series module.
3. Align the C Series module with a slot and seat it in the slot until the latches
lock in place.
Removing C Series Modules
Verify that power is not connected to the I/O connector(s) on the C Series module
before you remove a module from the NI-9147. If the system is in a nonhazardous
location, the NI-9147 can be powered on when you remove modules.
Connecting the NI-9147
The NI-9147 has the following connectors, LEDs, and buttons.
Connecting the NI-9147 to Ground
You must connect the NI-9147 grounding terminal to the grounding electrode
system of the facility.

NI-9147 Getting Started
What to Use
■Ring lug
■Wire, 2.1 mm2 (14 AWG) or larger
■Screwdriver, Phillips #2
What to Do
Complete the following steps to ground the NI-9147.
1. Attach the ring lug to the wire.
2. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding terminal on the NI-9147.
3. Attach the ring lug to the grounding terminal.
4. Tighten the grounding screw to 0.5 N · m (4.4 lb · in.) of torque.
5. Attach the other end of the wire to the grounding electrode system of your
facility using a method that is appropriate for your application.
Caution If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series module with
a plastic connector, you must attach the cable shield to the chassis
grounding terminal using 2.1 mm2 (14 AWG) or larger wire. Attach a ring
lug to the wire and attach the wire to the chassis grounding terminal.
Solder the other end of the wire to the cable shield. Use shorter wire for
