Safety Guidelines Operate the NI 9219 only as described in these operating instructions. Hot Surface hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.
Figure 1. NI 9972 Connector Backshell Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI 9219 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nC IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9219 in a potentially explosive environment.

Wiring the NI 9219 The NI 9219 has four 6-terminal connectors that provide connections for four analog input channels. Connect the positive signal of the signal source to the positive input signal terminal (HI) and the negative signal of the signal source to the negative input signal terminal (LO).
Page 10
You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to the NI 9219. If you make a floating connection between the signal source and the NI 9219, make sure the voltages on the positive and negative connections are within the channel-to-earth working voltage range to ensure proper operation of the NI 9219.

Voltage and Current Modes In Voltage and Current modes, connect the signal source to the NI 9219 across the HI and LO terminals. The current is computed from the voltage that the ADC measures across an internal shunt resistor. Refer to Figure 6 for an illustration of the connections.

2-Wire Resistance and Quarter-Bridge Modes In 2-Wire Resistance and Quarter-Bridge modes, connect the two ends of the resistor or gauge to the NI 9219 across the HI and LO terminals. These modes source a current, which varies based on the resistance of the load, between the HI and LO terminals. The resulting resistance is computed from the voltage measurement.

Binary Data NI 9219 modules in the system return calibrated binary data when used in a CompactRIO chassis. For these modules, you can convert the data to engineering units in software. Refer to the software documentation for information about converting data. When used in a CompactDAQ chassis, NI 9219 modules automatically return the data in terms of engineering units.
