    Safety Voltages

    Connect only voltages that are below these limits.

    V terminal to C terminal

    30 V max, Measurement Category I

    Chassis ground to C terminal

    30 V max, Measurement Category 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 cDAQ-9179 to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

    spd-note-note
    Note  

    Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are for other circuits not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
