Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information about installing software on the NI 9147. Blinks three times The NI 9147 is in user-directed safe mode, or the NI 9147 is in install and pauses mode to indicate that software is currently being installed.
Figure 5. NI 9147 Chassis Grounding Screw 1. Chassis grounding screw For EMC compliance, you must connect the NI 9147 to earth ground through the chassis ground screw. Use wire that is 1.31 mm (16 AWG) solid copper wire with a maximum length of 1.5 m (5 ft).
The NI 9147 contains a lithium cell battery that stores the system clock information when the NI 9147 is powered off. There is only a slight drain on the battery when power is applied to the NI 9147 power connector. The rate at which the battery drains when power is disconnected depends on the ambient storage temperature.
You can also mount the NI 9147 in other orientations, on a nonmetallic surface, on a 35-mm DIN rail, on a desktop, or in a rack. Mounting the NI 9147 in these or other configurations can reduce the maximum allowable ambient temperature and can affect the typical accuracy of modules in the NI 9147.
Mounting Requirements Your installation must meet the following requirements for cooling and cabling clearance. Allow 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) on the top and the bottom of the NI 9147 for air circulation, as shown in the following figure. Figure 9. NI 9147 Cooling Dimensions 25.4 mm (1.00 in.)
