Safety Guidelines

Operate the NI 9802 only as described in these operating instructions.

Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be

hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The NI 9802 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations; Class 1, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4, and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9802 in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.

Caution Do not insert or remove SD Cards 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.

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 9802 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 Ex nA 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

NI 9802 Operating Instructions and Specifications 4 ni.com

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 enter/exit through opposing enclosure walls.

Inserting and Removing SD Cards

The NI 9802 has two SD Card slots into which you can insert NI-approved SD Cards.

Note Using SD Cards that are not approved by NI might

invalidate specifications and result in unreliable performance.

The card slots each have a door to protect the SD Cards while in the module. Each door is connected to a switch that indicates to the NI 9802 software when it is safe to read from or write to the SD Card.

The NI 9802 has four LEDs that indicate which slots contain an SD Card and if the SD Card is active. Refer to Figure 1 for the designation of SD Card slots and LEDs. Refer to Table 1 for

descriptions of each of the LEDs on the NI 9802 and when it is safe to remove SD Cards from the NI 9802.

in Slot 1 and the SD Card slot door is closed.

Slot 1 is active. This LED is flashing when the NI 9802 is performing I/O on the card in Slot 1. Do not remove the SD Card while this LED is lit or flashing.

SD Card Slot Doors

Do not open an SD Card slot door or remove an SD Card while the yellow LED for that card is lit or flashing. If you open an SD Card slot door while the yellow LED for that card is lit or flashing, the NI 9802 software acts to protect the file system of the SD Card. Refer to the software documentation for more information.

Caution Opening an SD Card slot door or removing an

SD Card while the yellow LED for that card is lit or flashing might result in incomplete data.

You must close the slot door for the NI 9802 software to read from or write to the SD Card.

Note Screw the slot doors closed completely using a

#1 Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.

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 documentation for information

NI 9802 Operating Instructions and Specifications 8 ni.com

about support for sleep mode. You can enable sleep mode in software. Refer to the driver software documentation for more information.

Caution Do not enable sleep mode while either of the SD

Card slot yellow LEDs are lit or flashing. Enabling sleep mode while either of the SD Card slot yellow LEDs is lit or flashing might result in incomplete data.

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.
