Safety Guidelines

Operate the NI USB-9201/9221 only as described in these operating

instructions.

Caution Although the NI 9201/9221 might have more stringent certification standards

than the NI USB-9201/9221, when used with the NI USB-9162 carrier, the combined

system might be limited. Refer to the Specifications section for more information.

Hot Surface This icon denotes that the component may be hot. Touching this component

may result in bodily injury.

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 and the area is known

to be nonhazardous.

Caution The NI USB-9201/9221 is not certified for use in hazardous locations.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages

You can connect hazardous voltages to the NI USB-9201/9221 with the

screw terminal only. Do not connect hazardous voltages to the

If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the following

precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage >42.4 Vpk or 60 VDC to earth

ground.

Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by qualified personnel

adhering to local electrical standards.

Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on the same

module.

Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly

insulated from human contact

Caution When module terminals are live with hazardous voltages, make sure that the

terminals are not accessible by using the high voltage screw terminal backshell. Refer to

the Assembling the High Voltage Screw Terminal Backshell section for more information.

LED Indicator

The NI USB-9201/9221 device has a green LED next to the USB

connector. The LED indicator indicates device status, as listed in Table 1.

When the device is connected to a USB port, the LED blinks steadily to

indicate that the device is initialized and is receiving power from the

connection.

If the LED is not blinking, it may mean that the device is not initialized or

the computer is in standby mode. In order for the device to be recognized,

the device must be connected to a computer that has NI-DAQmx installed

on it. If your device is not blinking, make sure your computer has the latest

version of NI-DAQmx installed on it, and the computer is not in standby

mode.
