Misuse of the hardware can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection if the hardware

is damaged in any way. If the hardware is damaged, return it to National Instruments for repair.

Clean the hardware with a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make sure that the hardware is completely dry and

free from contaminants before returning it to service.

Do not substitute parts or modify the hardware except as described in this document. Use the hardware

only with the chassis, modules, accessories, and cables specified in the installation instructions or

specifications. You must have all covers and filler panels installed during operation of the hardware.

Do not operate the hardware in an explosive atmosphere or where there may be flammable gases or

fumes unless the hardware is UL (U.S.) or Ex (EU) Certified and marked for hazardous locations.

The hardware must be in a suitably rated IP 54 minimum enclosure for hazardous locations. Refer to

the hardware’s user documentation for more information.

You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which the hardware is rated. Do not

exceed the maximum ratings for the hardware. Do not install wiring while the hardware is live with

electrical signals. Do not remove or add connector blocks when power is connected to the system. Avoid

contact between your body and the connector block signal when hot swapping hardware. Remove power

from signal lines before connecting them to or disconnecting them from the hardware.

Operate the hardware only at or below Pollution Degree 2. Pollution is foreign matter in a solid, liquid,

or gaseous state that can reduce dielectric strength or surface resistivity. The following is a description

of pollution degrees:

• Pollution Degree 1 means no pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution

has no influence. Typical level for sealed components or coated PCBs.

• Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in most cases. Occasionally,

however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected. Typical level for

most products.

• Pollution Degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs

that becomes conductive due to condensation.

Operate the hardware at or below the measurement category1marked on the hardware label.

Measurement circuits are subjected to working voltages2and transient stresses (overvoltage) from the

circuit to which they are connected during measurement or test. Measurement categories establish

standard impulse withstand voltage levels that commonly occur in electrical distribution systems. The

following is a description of measurement categories:

• Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the

electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS3voltage. This category is for measurements of

voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal

1 Measurement categories, also referred to as overvoltage or installation categories, are defined in electrical safety standard

IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60664-1.

2 Working voltage is the highest rms value of an AC or DC voltage that can occur across any particular insulation.

3 MAINS is defined as a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers hardware. Suitably rated measuring circuits may

be connected to the MAINS for measuring purposes.

levels, special hardware, limited-energy parts of hardware, circuits powered by regulated

low-voltage sources, and electronics.

• Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the

electrical distribution system (MAINS3). This category refers to local-level electrical distribution,

such as that provided by a standard wall outlet (for example, 115 AC voltage for U.S. or 230 AC

voltage for Europe). Examples of Measurement Category II are measurements performed on

household appliances, portable tools, and similar hardware.

• 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.

• Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the primary electrical supply

installation typically outside buildings. Examples include electricity meters and measurements on

primary overcurrent protection devices and on ripple control units.
