Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are within the following limits:
Isolation
Channel-to-channel
Continuous 60 VDC, Measurement Category I
Withstand 1000 Vrms, verified by a 5 s dielectric withstand
test
Channel-to-earth ground
Continuous 60 VDC, Measurement Category I
Withstand 1000 Vrms, verified by a 5 s dielectric withstand
test
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS
is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is
for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such
voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy
parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and
electronics.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9222 to signals or use for measurements
within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test
and measurement circuits are not intended for direct connection to the
MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or
CAT IV.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9222 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
