Digital Output Module for Remote I/O
This document explains how to connect to the REM-11178.
Note The guidelines in this document are specific to the REM-11178. 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.
Caution Do not operate the REM-11178 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 way. If the product
is damaged, return it to NI for repair.

Isolation Withstand Voltages
Test section Test voltage
5 V communications power (logic), 24 V supply (I/O) 500 VAC, 50 Hz, 1 min.

24 V supply (I/O)/functional earth ground 500 VAC, 50 Hz, 1 min.
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 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.
Preparing the Environment
Ensure that the environment in which you are using the REM-11178 meets the following
specifications.
Operating temperature -25 °C to 60 °C
Operating humidity 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
Pollution Degree 2
Maximum altitude 3,000 m
