Safety Voltages

Connect only voltages that are within these limits.

Channel-to-GND

±30 V max, 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

Caution Do not use this module for connection to signals or for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV

Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O (Other) 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.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

EU Customers This symbol indicates that waste products should be disposed of separately from municipal household waste according to WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). All products at the end of their life cycle must be sent to a WEEE collection and recycling center. Proper WEEE disposal reduces environmental impact and the risk to human health due to potentially hazardous substances used in such equipment. Your cooperation in proper WEEE disposal will contribute to the effective usage of natural resources. For information about the available collection and recycling scheme in a particular country, go to ni.com/environment/weee.
