Attention Ne pas combiner des circuits avec des tensions dangereuses et
des circuits accessibles aux personnes sur le même produit.
Caution When product terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE, you must
ensure that devices and circuits connected to the product are properly
insulated from human contact.
Attention Lorsqu'une haute tension dangereuse est appliquée aux
bornes du produit, vous devez vous assurer que les appareils et les circuits
auxquels il est connecté sont correctement isolés de tout contact humain.

NI-9229 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 o or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been switched o or
the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2, or Zone 2.
Caution The system must be installed in an enclosure certified for the
intended hazardous (classified) location, having a tool secured cover/door,
where a minimum protection of at least IP54 is provided.
Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications, connected signals must
be within the following limits.
Capacitance 0.2 µF maximum
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe and
Internationally
The NI-9229 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment under
DEMKO 07ATEX 0626664X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X certified. Each NI-9229 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-9229 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 Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not
exceeding 140% of the peak rated voltage value of 85 V at the supply
terminals to the equipment.
Caution The system shall only be used in an area of not more than
Pollution Degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 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.
Caution The enclosure must have a door or cover accessible only by the
use of a tool.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines
This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits
for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These
requirements and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the product is operated in the intended operational electromagnetic
environment.
This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful
interference may occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a
peripheral device or test object, or if the product is used in residential or
commercial areas. To minimize interference with radio and television reception and
prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this product in strict
accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved

Cable Requirements for EMC Compliance
Select and install cables for the NI-9229 with BNC in accordance with the following
requirements:
■Install a clamp-on ferrite bead (NI part number 782801-01) on the BNC cable
for each channel that you are connecting to on the NI-9229 with BNC.
■Clamp-on ferrites must be connected to the BNC cable as close to the
module as possible with a full turn as shown in the following figure. Placing
the ferrite elsewhere on the cable noticeably impairs its eectiveness.

NI-9229 Connection Guidelines
■ Make sure that devices you connect to the NI-9229 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-9229 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-9229 with screw terminal:
■Use ferrules to terminate wires to the detachable connector.
■Use the NI-9971 backshell kit.
Overvoltage Protection
The NI-9229 provides overvoltage protection for each channel.
Note Refer to the NI-9229 Specifications on ni.com/manuals for more
information about overvoltage protection.
