GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI 9269
100 kS/s/ch Simultaneous, ±10 V, Isolated,
4-Channel C Series Voltage Output Module
This document explains how to connect to the NI 9269.
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 9269. 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.
Safety Guidelines
Operate the NI 9269 only as described in this document.
Caution Do not operate the NI 9269 in a manner not
specified in this document. Product misuse can result in
a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection
built into the product if the product is damaged in any
way. If the product is damaged, return it to NI for
repair.

Hazardous Voltage This icon denotes a warning
advising you to take precautions to avoid electrical
shock.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
If hazardous voltages are connected to the device, take the
following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater
than 42.4 Vpk voltage or 60 V DC 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 Ensure that devices and circuits connected to
the module are properly insulated from human contact.
Caution When module terminals are hazardous
voltage LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC), you must ensure
that devices and circuits connected to the module are
properly insulated from human contact. You must use
the NI 9971 connector backshell kit to ensure that the
terminals are not accessible.

Measurement Category I
electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is
for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary
circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special
equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered
by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9269 to signals or use
for measurements within Measurement Categories II,
III, or IV.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are
equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are not
intended for direct connection to the MAINS building
installations of Measurement Categories CAT II,
CAT III, or CAT IV.
Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on
circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
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.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9269 to signals or use
for measurements within Measurement Categories III
or IV.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9269 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A,
B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4
Gc and Ex nA IIC T4 Gc hazardous locations; and nonhazardous
locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the
NI 9269 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 Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,
install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP54
as defined by IEC/EN 60079-15.

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe and Internationally
The NI 9269 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment
under DEMKO 07 ATEX 0626664X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X
certified. Each NI 9269 is marked 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 9269 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.
Caution You must make sure that transient
disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage.
Caution The system shall only be used in an area of
not more than Pollution Degree 2, as defined in
IEC 60664-1.
Caution The system shall be mounted in an
ATEX/IECEx-certified enclosure with a minimum
ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in
IEC/EN 60079-15.
