Each NI-9209 is marked and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI-9209 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, Ex IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
EMC performance is attained. Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI-9209 meets the following specifications. Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) -40 °C to 70 °C...
Table 1. Signal Descriptions Signals You can connect single-ended or differential signals to the NI-9209. Use a differential measurement configuration to attain more accurate measurements and less noise. The following table shows the signal pairs that are valid for differential connection configurations with the NI-9209.
You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection when connecting ■ more than one wire to a single terminal on the NI-9209 with spring terminal. Push the wire into the terminal when using a solid wire or a stranded wire ■...
