This document explains how to connect to the NI 9252. In this
document, the NI 9252 with screw terminal and the NI 9252 with
DSUB are referred to inclusively as the NI 9252.
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 9252. 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.

Connect the negative lead to COM through a 1 MΩ resistor to
keep the signal source within the common-mode voltage range.
The NI 9252 does not read data accurately if the signal source is
outside of the common-mode voltage range.

NI 9252 Connection Guidelines
• Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9252 are
compatible with the module specifications.
• You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection
when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on
the NI 9252 with screw terminal.

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications
If your application is subject to high vibration, NI recommends
that you follow these guidelines to protect connections to the
NI 9252 with screw terminal:
• Use ferrules to terminate wires to the detachable connector.
• Use the NI 9928 backshell kit.
Overvoltage Protection
The NI 9252 provides overvoltage protection for each channel.
Note Refer to the device datasheet on ni.com/manuals
for more information about overvoltage protection.
