Safety Voltages

Connect only voltages that are below these limits.

V1 terminal to C terminal	30 VDC maximum, Measurement Category I
V2 terminal to C terminal	30 VDC maximum, Measurement Category I
Chassis ground to C terminal	30 VDC maximum, 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 connect the cDAQ-9132 to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

Note Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O 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.
