Safety Guidelines
Operate the NI 9269 only as described in these operating
instructions.
Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be
hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the
following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater
than 42.4 Vpk or 60 VDC to earth ground.
Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is
performed only by qualified personnel adhering to local
electrical standards.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and
human-accessible circuits on the same module.
Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to
the module are properly insulated from human contact.

Caution When module terminals are hazardous voltage
LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC), youmust ensure that devices
and circuits connected to the module are properly
insulated from human contact. Youmust use the NI 9971
connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are
not accessible.
Figure 1 shows the NI 9971 connector backshell.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9269 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 youare installing the
NI 9269 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 Zone 2 applications, install the system in an
enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529
and EN 60529.

Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe
This equipment has been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 equipment
under DEMKO Certificate No. 07 ATEX 0626664X. Each module
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 9269 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you
must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as
Ex nC IIC T4, EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4
equipment.

Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some modules are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for
marine applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification, visit
ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or
look for the Lloyd’s Register mark on the module.
Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install
the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites
must be installed on power supply inputs near power
entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and
module cables must be separated on opposite sides of the
enclosure and must enter and exit through opposing
enclosure walls.

Yo ucan connect a load to each channel of the NI 9269. Connect the
positive lead of the load to the AO+ terminal. Connect the ground
of the load to the corresponding AO– terminal. Refer to Figure 3
for an illustration of how to connect a load to the NI 9269.

Note Youmust use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9269.
The analog output channels are floating with respect to earth
ground and each other. Each channel has a digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) that produces a voltage signal. Each channel
provides an independent signal path, enabling youto update all
four channels simultaneously. Each channel also has overvoltage
