This category refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet, for example, 115 V for U.S. or 230 V for Europe. Do not connect the NI 9472 to signals or use Caution for measurements within Measurement Categories III or IV.
CAT III, or CAT IV. Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages You can connect hazardous voltages only to the NI 9472 with screw terminal and the NI 9472 with spring terminal. Do not connect hazardous voltages to the NI 9472 with DSUB.

Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI 9472 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.
In addition, take precautions when designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes and cables to ensure that the desired EMC performance is attained. 10 | ni.com | NI 9472 Getting Started Guide...
Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI 9472 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...
