National Instruments sbRIO-9637 Getting Started Manual

GETTING STARTED GUIDE

NI sbRIO-9637

Single-Board RIO OEM Devices

This document describes how to begin using the NI sbRIO-9637.

Safety Guidelines

Operate the sbRIO-9637 only as described in the user documentation.

Caution The sbRIO-9637 must be installed in a suitable enclosure prior to use.

Caution NI makes no product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or CE

marking compliance claims for the sbRIO-9637. The end-product supplier is responsible for conformity to any and all compliance requirements.

Caution Exercise caution when designing an enclosure for the sbRIO-9637.

Auxiliary cooling may be necessary to keep the sbRIO-9637 within the specified operating temperature range. Refer to the NI sbRIO-9637 Specifications on ni.com/

manuals for more information about the maximum operating temperature rating. For

information and examples regarding factors that can affect thermal performance, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code sbriocooling.

Caution Do not operate the sbRIO-9637 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.

Safety Voltages

Connect only voltages that are below these limits.

V terminal to C terminal 30 VDC maximum, Measurement Category I

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live 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 lowvoltage sources, and electronics.

Caution Do not connect the sbRIO-9637 to signals or use for measurements within

Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment in which you are using the sbRIO-9637 meets the following specifications.

Local ambient operating temperature near device (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2)

Maximum reported onboard sensor temperature

CPU/FPGA temperature 98 °C

Primary System temperature 85 °C

Secondary System temperature 85 °C

Note Ensure that the local ambient, reported CPU/FPGA, and reported Primary

System temperatures do not exceed any of the maximum temperatures listed in this document. For more information about how to access the onboard sensors, visit

ni.com/info and enter the Info Code sbriosensors.

Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-78) 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing

Pollution Degree (IEC 60664) 2

Maximum altitude 5,000 m

Indoor use only.

Note Refer to the device specifications on ni.com/manuals for complete

specifications.

-40 °C to 85 °C

Caution To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the device,

ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer chassis.

1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.

2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any other sign of damage.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.

3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.

Store the device in the antistatic package when the device is not in use.
