Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages

If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater than 42.4 Vpk or 60 VDC to earth ground.
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 9932 connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible.

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 limits:
Capacitance .......................... 80 nF max

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe

This equipment has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4 equipment under DEMKO Certificate No. 03 ATEX 0324020X. Each module
is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations. If you are using the NI 9265 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.

Figure 2. NI 9265 Terminal Assignments

© National Instruments Corp. 7 NI 9265 Operating Instructions and Specifications
The NI 9265 has four analog output channels, AO. Each channel has a common terminal, COM, that is internally connected to the isolated ground reference of the module. The 9265 also has a terminal for an external power supply, V
, and an external power
sup
supply common terminal, Power Supply COM.
Each AO channel has a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that produces a current signal. Each channel also has overvoltage and short-circuit protection. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about the overvoltage and short-circuit protection. Refer to Figure 3 for an illustration of the output circuitry for one channel of the NI 9265.
Yo u can connect a load to each channel of the NI 9265. Connect the positive lead of the load to the AO terminal. Connect the ground of the load to the corresponding COM terminal. Refer to Figure 3 for an illustration of how to connect a load to the NI 9265.

C Series documentation.

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications

If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments recommends that you either use ferrules to terminate wires to the detachable screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9932 backshell kit to protect the connections. Refer to Figure 4 for an illustration of using ferrules. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the NI 9932 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.
© National Instruments Corp. 11 NI 9265 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Vis it 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.
