NI-9402 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 9402 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment under
DEMKO 07ATEX 0626664X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X certified. Each NI 9402 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 9402 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.
