This document explains how to connect to the NI 9253.
Note Before you begin, complete the software and
hardware installation procedures in your chassis
documentation.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to
the NI 9253. The other components in the system might
not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the
documentation for each component in the system to
determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire
system.

Connecting an External Power Supply
You can connect an external power supply to the NI 9253. This
power supply provides the current for the devices you connect to
the module. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to a
V
pin and the negative lead of the power supply to COM.

supply to the device.
Caution Do not remove or insert modules if the
external power supply connected to the V
pins is powered on.

NI 9253 Connection Guidelines
• Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9253 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 9253 with spring terminal.
• Push the wire into the terminal when using a solid wire or a
stranded wire with a ferrule.
• Open the terminal by pressing the push button when using
stranded wire without a ferrule.
High-Vibration Application Connections
If your application is subject to high vibration, NI recommends
that you use the NI 9963 backshell kit to protect connections to
the NI 9253 with spring terminal.
10 | ni.com | NI 9253 Getting Started Guide
Page 11
You must follow these guidelines to meet the shock and vibration
performance specifications stated in the device datasheet on
ni.com/manuals.
• Panel mount the system.
• Provide strain relief for the module by securing the cabling to
a supporting fixture no more than 8 cm (3 in.) away from the
opening of the connector backshell.
• Ensure that the supporting fixture for strain relief is stiff and
rigidly coupled to the chassis mounting surface.
• Ensure that you do not directionally bias the module when
applying strain relief.
Overvoltage Protection
The NI 9253 provides overvoltage protection for each channel.
Note Refer to the device datasheet on ni.com/manuals
for more information about overvoltage protection.
