Safety Guidelines

Operate the NI USB-9472 only as described in these operating instructions.

Note Although the NI 9472 module may have more stringent certification standards than

the NI USB-9472, when used with the NI USB-9162 carrier, the combined system may be

limited. Refer to the Specifications section for more details.

Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be hot. Touching this component

may result in bodily injury.

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 The NI USB-9472 is not certified for use in hazardous locations.

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 live with hazardous voltages, make sure that the

terminals are not accessible by using the high voltage screw terminal backshell. Refer to

the Connecting Devices to the NI USB-9472 section for more information.

LED Indicator

The NI USB-9472 device has a green LED next to the USB connector. The

LED indicator indicates device status, as listed in Table 1. When the device

is connected to a USB port, the LED blinks steadily to indicate that the

device is initialized and is receiving power from the connection.

If the LED is not blinking, it may mean that the device is not initialized or

the computer is in standby mode. In order for the device to be recognized,

the device must be connected to a computer that has NI-DAQmx installed

on it. If your device is not blinking, make sure your computer has the latest

version of NI-DAQmx installed on it, and the computer is not in standby

mode.
