Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
You can connect hazardous voltages only to the NI 9215 with
screw terminal. Do not connect hazardous voltages to the NI 9215
with BNC.
If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the
following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater
than 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 hazardous voltage
LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices

NI 9215 Operating Instructions and Specifications
and circuits connected to the module are properly
insulated from human contact. You must use the NI 9932
connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are
not accessible.
Figure 1 shows the NI 9932 connector backshell.
Note You can use the NI 9932 connector backshell only
with the NI 9215 with screw terminal.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The NI 9215 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D, and T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nC IIC T4
and Ex nC IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations
only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9215 in a
potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines
may result in serious injury or death.
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 Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the system
in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by
IEC 60529 and EN 60529.

locations. If you are using the NI 9215 in Gas Group IIC hazardous
locations or in ambient temperatures of –40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C, you
must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as
Ex nA IIC T4 equipment.
Special Conditions for Marine Applications

Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install
the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites
must be installed on power supply inputs near power
entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and
module cables must be separated on opposite sides of
the enclosure, and must enter and exit through opposing
enclosure walls.

NI 9215 Operating Instructions and Specifications
The NI 9215 with screw terminal has a 10-terminal detachable
screw-terminal connector. The NI 9215 with BNC has four BNC
connectors.
Each channel of the NI 9215 has an AI+ terminal or shield to which
you can connect the positive voltage signal, and an AI– terminal or
shield to which you can connect the negative voltage signal. The
NI 9215 with screw terminal also has a common terminal, COM,
that is internally connected to the isolated ground reference of the
module.
Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9215 with screw terminal.

Connecting Differential Voltage Signals to the NI 9215
You can connect grounded or floating differential signals to the
NI 9215. Connect the positive voltage signal to AI+ and the
negative voltage signal to AI–. To connect grounded differential
signals to the NI 9215 with screw terminal, you must also connect
the signal reference to the COM terminal, as shown in Figure 4.

11 NI 9215 Operating Instructions and Specifications
To connect floating differential signals to the NI 9215 with screw
terminal, you must connect the negative lead of the signal to COM
through a 1 MΩ resistor to keep the voltage source within the
common-mode voltage range, as shown in Figure 5. If the voltage
source is outside of the common-mode range, then the NI 9215
does not read data accurately. The NI 9215 with BNC has internal
circuitry that keeps the voltage source within the common-mode
range. For more information about the common-mode voltage
range, refer to the Specifications section.

Wiring for High Vibration Applications
If an application using the NI 9215 with screw terminal is subject
to high vibration, National Instruments recommends that you
either use ferrules to terminate wires to the detachable
screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9932 backshell kit to
protect the connections. Refer to Figure 7 for an illustration of
using ferrules. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the NI 9932
connector backshell.

NI 9215 Circuitry
The NI 9215 channels share a common ground that is isolated from
other modules in the system. The NI 9215 protects each channel
from overvoltages. For more information about overvoltage
protection, refer to the Specifications section. The incoming analog
signal on each channel is buffered and conditioned by the
instrumentation amplifier and is then sampled by a 16-bit ADC.
The channels have independent track-and-hold amplifiers that
allow you to sample all four channels simultaneously. Refer to
Figures 8 and 9 for input circuitry illustrations of the NI 9215 with
screw terminal and the NI 9215 with BNC.

Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about C
Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
