• Keep the NI 9213 in a stable and consistent orientation.
• Allow the thermal gradients to settle after a change in system
power or in ambient temperature. A change in system power
can happen when the system powers on, the system comes
out of sleep mode, or you insert/remove modules.
• If you connect any extension wires to thermocouple wires,
use wires made of the same conductive material as the
thermocouple wires.
• Use the NI 9940 backshell kit.
NI 9213 Connection Guidelines
• Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9213 are
compatible with the module specifications.
• You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection
when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on
the NI 9213.
• Push the wire into the terminal when using a solid wire or a
stranded wire with a ferrule.
• Open the terminal by pressing the push button when using
stranded wire without a ferrule.
