Caution Emissions that exceed the regulatory
requirements may occur when this product is connected
to a test object.
Caution Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by National Instruments could void the user’s
authority to operate the hardware under the local
regulatory rules.
Special Guidelines for Marine Applications
Some products are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for
marine (shipboard) applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register
certification for a product, visit ni.com/certification and
search for the LR certificate, or look for the Lloyd’s Register mark
on the product label.
Caution In order to meet the EMC requirements for
marine applications, install the product in a shielded
enclosure with shielded and/or filtered power and
input/output ports. In addition, take precautions when
designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes
and cables to ensure that the desired EMC performance is

Caution Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this
product. To prevent damage, use industry-standard ESD
prevention measures during installation, maintenance,
and operation.
The NI 9222/9223 has four 2-terminal detachable screw-terminal
connectors.
Note Yo umust use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9222/9223.
Yo ucan connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to
the NI 9222/9223. Connect the positive signal of the signal source
to the AI+ terminal, and connect the negative signal of the signal
source to the AI– terminal. If youmake a ground-referenced
connection between the signal source and the NI 9222/9223, make
sure the voltage on the AI+ and AI– connections are in the
channel-to-earth safety voltage range to ensure proper operation of
the NI 9222/9223. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about operating voltages and overvoltage protection.
Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for illustrations of how to connect
grounded and floating signal sources to the NI 9222/9223.

The NI 9222/9223 analog input channels are floating with respect
to earth ground and each other. The incoming analog signal on each
channel is buffered, conditioned, and then sampled by a 16-bit
successive approximation register ADC.
Each channel provides an independent signal path and ADC,
enabling youto sample all four channels simultaneously. Refer to
Figure 4 for an illustration of the circuitry for one channel.

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications
If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments
recommends that youeither use ferrules to terminate wires to the
detachable screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9971 backshell
kit to protect the connections. Refer to Figure 5 for an illustration
of wiring a terminal using ferrules.

Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, youcannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
Specifications
The following specifications are typical for the range –40 to 70 °C
unless otherwise noted. All voltages are relative to the AI– signal
on each channel unless otherwise noted. The specifications are the
same for the NI 9222 and the NI 9223 unless otherwise noted.

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 low-voltage sources, and electronics.
