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), you

must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from

human contact. You must use the NI 9940 connector backshell kit, shown in Figure 3, to

ensure that the terminals are not accessible.

NI USB-9162 carrier.

5. Press firmly on the connector side of the NI 9213 module until the

latches lock the module into place, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Locking Module into Place

Connecting the NI USB-9213 to a Computer

Plug one end of the USB cable into the NI USB-9213 and the other end into

an available USB port on the computer. Refer to the NI-DAQmx for USB

Devices Getting Started Guide that shipped with your device, and is also

accessible from Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ,

for more information.

LED Indicator

The NI USB-9213 device has a green LED next to the USB connector. The

LED indicator indicates device status, as listed in Table 2. 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.

Wiring the NI USB-9213 Device

The NI USB-9213 has a 36-terminal detachable spring-terminal connector

that provides connections for 16 thermocouple channels.

Caution The NI 9940 high voltage screw terminal backshell, shown in Figure 3, must be

installed when using hazardous voltages (>42.4 Vpk, 60 VDC).

Figure 7. NI USB-9213 Terminal Assignments

You can connect thermocouple input signals to the NI USB-9213. Connect

the positive lead of the thermocouple to the TC+ terminal and the negative

lead of the thermocouple to the TC– terminal. If you are unsure which of

the thermocouple leads is positive and which is negative, check the

thermocouple documentation or the thermocouple wire spool. The

NI USB-9213 also has two common terminals, COM, that are internally

connected to the isolated ground reference of the module.

EMC Compliance

To ensure proper performance in the specified EMC environments, any

connected cable must be provided with an overall shield that is connected

to earth ground using an equipment grounding conductor of the shortest

possible length. Ensure that any wires within the cable that extend beyond

the shield are as short as possible so that the shield covers as much of the

cable as possible. For the equipment grounding conductor, use AWG 16 or
