About These Specifications

Specifications characterize the warranted performance of the instrument under the stated operating conditions.

Typical Specifications are specifications met by the majority of the instrument under the stated operating conditions and are tested at 23 °C ambient temperature. Typical specifications are not warranted.

All voltages are specified in DC, ACpk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Caution The protection provided by the NI 2534 can be impaired if it is used in a manner not described in this document.

Note Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high voltage transients in excess of the module’s rated voltage. Without additional protection, these transients can interfere with module operation and impact relay life. For more information about transient suppression, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code induct.
