Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations

The cDAQ-9181 has been evaluated as Ex ec IIC T4 Gc equipment and is CCC certified. Each product is suitable for use within ambient temperatures of 0 °C ≤ Ta ≤55 °C in either nonhazardous locations or Zone 2 hazardous locations.

The cDAQ-9185/9189 have been evaluated as Ex ec IIC T4 Gc equipment and are CCC certified. Each product is suitable for use within ambient temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤70 °C in either nonhazardous locations or Zone 2 hazardous locations.

Follow these guidelines if you are installing the product in a potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury or death.

Caution Do not disconnect the power supply wires and connectors from the controller unless power has been switched off.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O‐side wires or connectors unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Zone 2.
Caution The system shall only be used in an area of not more than Pollution Degree 2, as defined in IEC/EN 60664-1.
Caution The system shall be mounted in a CCC-certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of at least IP54 as defined in GB/T3836.1.
Caution The enclosure must have a door or cover accessible only by the use of a tool.
Caution You must make sure that transient disturbances do not exceed 140% of the rated voltage.
Caution (cDAQ-9181) When operating the product in hazardous locations, you must use the power connector with a power supply rated for hazardous locations. The power supply included in the kit is not hazardous locations-certified. Visit ni.com to find hazardous locations-certified power supplies.
