following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater
than 42.4 V
© National Instruments Corp. 3 NI 9264 Operating Instructions and Specifications
or 60 VDC to earth ground.
pk
Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is
performed only by qualified personnel adhering to local
electrical standards.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and
human-accessible circuits on the same module.
Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to
the module are properly insulated from human contact.
Caution When module terminals are hazardous voltage
LIVE (>42.4 V
/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices
pk
and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated
from human contact. You must use the NI 9940 connector
backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.
Figure 1 shows the NI 9940 connector backshell.

The NI 9264 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D, T4 haza rdous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4, and
NI 9264 Operating Instructions and Specifications 4 ni.com
Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations
only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9264 in a
potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines
may result in serious injury or death.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors
unless power has been switched off or the area is known
to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the system
in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by
IEC 60529 and EN 60529.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, connected signals must
be within the following limit:
Capacitance .......................... 0.2 μF max

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe
This equipment has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 equipment
under DEMKO Certificate No. 07 ATEX 0626664X. Each module
is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous
locations. If you are using the NI 9264 in Gas Group IIC hazardous
locations or in ambient temperatures of –40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C, you
must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as
EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some modules are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for
marine applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification, visit
ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or
look for the Lloyd’s Register mark on the module.
Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install
the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites
must be installed on power supply inputs near power
entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and
module cables must be separated on opposite sides of the
enclosure and must enter and exit through opposing
enclosure walls.

Each channel of the NI 9264 has a terminal to which you can
connect the positive lead of a load. Each channel also has a
common terminal, COM, and there are four additional COM
terminals at the bottom of the connector. All of the COM terminals
are internally connected to the isolated ground reference of the
module. When connecting a load to the NI 9264, connect the
positive lead of the load to the AO terminal, and the ground of the
load to a COM terminal. Refer to Figure 3 for an illustration of
connecting a load to the NI 9264.

Connecting Wires to the NI 9264 Connector
Use a flathead screwdriver with a blade smaller than 2.3 × 1.0 mm
(0.09 × 0.04 in.) to connect wires to the detachable spring-terminal
connector. Insert the screwdriver into a spring clamp activation
slot and press a wire into the corresponding connector terminal,
then remove the screwdriver to clamp the wire into the terminal.
Refer to the Specifications section for more information about
spring-terminal wiring. Refer to Figure 5 for an illustration of
connecting wires to the NI 9264.

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications
If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments
recommends that you use the NI 9940 backshell kit to protect the
connections. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the NI 9940
connector backshell.
Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
