Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI 9220 meets the following specifications. Operating temperature -40 °C to 70 °C (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) Operating humidity 10% RH to 90% RH, (IEC 60068-2-78) noncondensing...
Connect the negative lead to COM through a 1 MΩ resistor to keep the signal source within the common-mode voltage range. The NI 9220 does not read data accurately if the signal source is outside of the common-mode voltage range.
Connect the ground signal to COM to keep the signal source within the common-mode voltage range. NI 9220 Connection Guidelines • Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9220 are compatible with the module specifications. • You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on the NI 9220 with spring terminal.
• For the NI 9220 with spring terminal, push the wire into the terminal when using a solid wire or a stranded wire with a ferrule. • For the NI 9220 with spring terminal, open the terminal by pressing the push button when using stranded wire without a ferrule.
