Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are below these limits.
Channel-to-earth ground ±11 V, Measurement Category I
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.
Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct
connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
EMC 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.
EMC Notices
Notice 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 not properly installed and shielded, the EMC specifications for the product are no longer guaranteed.
Notice The performance of this product can be disrupted if subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) during operation. To prevent damage,
industry-standard ESD prevention measures must be employed during installation, maintenance, and operation.
Notice This product may become more sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances in the operational environment when test leads are attached or when
connected to a test object.
