Input Characteristics

Maximum switching voltage

Channel-to-channel

60 VDC, 30 VACrms, CAT I

Channel-to-ground

60 VDC, 30 VACrms, CAT 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 PXI-2530B 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.

60 V, 160 mA

1 * 106 cycles, typical

Note Reed relays are highly susceptible to damage caused by switching capacitive and inductive loads. Capacitive loads can cause high inrush currents while inductive loads can cause high flyback voltages. The addition of appropriate resistive protection can greatly improve contact lifetime. For more information about adding protection circuitry to a capacitive load, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code relaylifetime. For information about inductive loads, enter the Info Code relayflyback.
Note The relays used in the PXI-2530B are field replaceable.
