Hardware
The NI 9755 includes the following hardware:
• Continental UniNOx Smart NOx Sensor with integrated sensor controller module
• Sensor bung
• Wiring harness
• NI-9853 CompactRIO High-Speed CAN module
The wiring harness in the NI 9755 connects to the NOx Sensor Control Module and splits into
two cables for the NI-9853 module and an external power supply. The first cable connects to the
NI-9853 with a female DB-9 connector. A terminating resistor of approximately 120 Ωis located
inside this cable near the NOx Sensor Control Module and between the CAN High and CAN
Low wires. The second cable provides three non-terminated leads for connecting to a power
supply, which requires two leads, and for address selection of the NOx Sensor Module, which
requires one lead. If the cable is to be extended, follow CAN network wiring guidelines.
Refer to the NI 9853 CAN Module Operating Instructions and Specifications for more
information on cabling requirements.
Note You must use the sensor included in the NI 9755 kit. NI does not support other
sensors.

Powering the Hardware
The NI 9755 requires power from a range of 12 V to 16 V with a continuous current of 1.5 A
and a peak current of 16 A. The maximum power requirement is 20 W, which typically occurs
when the heating element is being turned on from a cold state. If you are using two sensors,
double the capacity of the power supply.
Refer to the NI 9853 Operating Instructions and Specifications for more information on power
requirements.
Contact National Instruments for more information about sensor specifications.

NOx Sensor Preheating Function
When power is supplied to the sensor, the sensor enters preheating mode automatically until the
Sensor Enable Boolean is set to TRUE within the supporting software. The Sensor Enable
Boolean turns the internal sensor heater to its ON state. If the Sensor Enable Boolean is set to
FALSE, the sensor returns to preheating mode. The preheating mode protects the sensor from
mechanical cracks caused by water splash.

NOx Sensor Controller Module Connector
Type of connector .............................................Hirschmann MLK 872-860-501
Number of pins .................................................5
Connector pin assignment
Pin 1 ..........................................................Battery [red]
Pin 2 ..........................................................Ground [black]
Pin 3 ..........................................................CAN Low [blue]
Pin 4 ..........................................................CAN High [orange]
Pin 5 ..........................................................Address Switch [purple]
Pulling Pin 5 to ground changes the CAN transmit ID of the NOx sensor control module so that
two NOx sensor control modules can be added to the same network. Sensor Control Modules
with Pin 5 floating are Ch. 1 and Sensor Control Modules with Pin 5 grounded are Ch. 2.
