This document explains how to connect to the NI 9375. In this
document, the NI 9375 with spring terminal and the NI 9375 with
DSUB are referred to inclusively as the NI 9375.
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 9375. 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.
Safety Guidelines
Operate the NI 9375 only as described in this document.
Caution Do not operate the NI 9375 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
2| ni.com | NI 9375 Getting Started Guide
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

way. If the product is damaged, return it to NI for
repair.
Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are within the following limits:
Channel-to-COM or
Vsup-to-COM
30 VDC maximum
Isolation
DI bank-to-DO bank 60 VDC maximum
Channel-to-Channel No isolation between channels
Channel-to-earth ground
Continuous 60 VDC,
Measurement Category I
Withstand 1,000 Vrms, verified by a 5 s
dielectric withstand test
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
NI 9375 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 3

circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special
equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered
by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9375 to signals or use
for measurements within Measurement Categories II,
III, or IV.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are
equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are not
intended for direct connection to the MAINS building
installations of Measurement Categories CAT II,
CAT III, or CAT IV.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9375 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A,
B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, 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 9375 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 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 Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,
install the system in an enclosure rated to at least IP54
as defined by IEC/EN 60079-15.
Caution For Division 2 and Zone 2 applications,
install a protection device between any two terminals.
The device must prevent the Vsup-to-COM voltage
from exceeding 42 V if there is a transient overvoltage
condition.

The NI 9375 channel registers as ON when the sourcing-output
device drives enough current or applies enough voltage to DI. If
no device is connected to DI, the channel registers as OFF.
Connecting Digital Devices
You can connect a variety of industrial devices, such as solenoids,
motors, actuators, relays, and lamps to the NI 9375. You must

connected to the Vsup and COM pins is powered on.
Ensure that the devices you connect to the NI 9375 are
compatible with the output specifications of the NI 9375. Refer to
the device datasheet at ni.com/manuals for output specifications.
Note When the industrial device is off, DO is not
connected to COM. For large source impedances, you
must use a pull-down resistor between DO and COM.

If the channel is switching an inductive or energy-storing device
such as a solenoid, motor, or relay, and the device does not have
flyback protection, install an external flyback diode.

from the end
• Flathead screwdriver with a 2.3 mm x 1.0 mm (0.09 in. x
0.04 in.) blade, included with the NI 9375
What to Do
Complete the following steps to connect wires to the spring-
terminal connector.

High-Vibration Application Connections
If your application is subject to high vibration, NI recommends
that you use the NI 9940 backshell kit to protect connections to
the NI 9375 with spring terminal.
I/O Protection
Each DO channel on the NI 9375 has circuitry that protects it
from overcurrents resulting from a short-circuit or faulty loads.
Caution Overvoltage and reverse bias voltage
conditions can damage the NI 9375. Check the voltage
specifications for all devices that you connect to the
NI 9375.
When a short circuit is present on a digital output channel, the
DO channel cycles off and on until the short circuit is removed or
the current returns to an acceptably low level. An overcurrent
state can affect the performance of the NI 9375 and other
modules in the system. To ensure safe and proper operation, the
digital outputs should not exceed the maximum continuous
output current specification.
