II 3G 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-9237 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-9237 meets the following specifications. Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) -40 °C to 70 °C...
Indoor use only. Note Refer to the NI-9237 Specifications on ni.com/manuals complete specifications. Connecting the NI-9237 The NI-9237 provides connections for four half or full bridges, and an external excitation voltage source. Figure 1. NI-9237 Pinout Ch0 – Ch3 AI– Ch 0 RS–...
You can connect a full bridge to the NI-9237. Figure 2. Connecting a Full Bridge to the NI-9237 You also can connect floating signals to the NI-9237. If you connect floating signals to the NI-9237, NI recommends connecting the EX- signal to the earth ground or shield for better noise rejection.
Figure 4. Connecting a Quarter Bridge to the NI-9237 You also can use a quarter bridge with the NI-9237 with RJ-50 if you use the NI 9944 or NI 9945 Quarter Bridge Completion Accessory. Connecting TEDS Sensors You can connect TEDs sensors to the NI-9237.
