Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are within Measurement Category O.
Isolation
Channel-to-channel None
Channel-to-earth
ground
None
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.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9775 to signals or use
for measurements within Measurement Categories II,
III, or IV.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9775 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
NI 9775 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 3

locations only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the
NI 9775 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.
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in
Europe and Internationally
The NI 9775 has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment
under DEMKO 12 ATEX 1202658X and is IECEx UL 14.0089X
certified. Each NI 9775 is marked II 3G and is suitable for use
in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient temperatures of -40 °C
4| ni.com | NI 9775 Getting Started Guide

≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI 9775 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 You must make sure that transient
disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage.
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
NI 9775 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

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 by National Instruments could void your
authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance,
operate this product only with shielded cables and
accessories. Do not use unshielded cables or
accessories unless they are installed in a shielded
enclosure with properly designed and shielded input/
output ports and connected to the product using a
shielded cable. If unshielded cables or accessories are
6| ni.com | NI 9775 Getting Started Guide

not properly installed and shielded, the EMC
specifications for the product are no longer guaranteed.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance,
the length of all I/O cables must be no longer than 30 m
(100 ft).
Special Conditions 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.
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 attained.
