Power Requirements

The sbRIO-9638 requires a power supply connected to the power connector. Refer to the Connecting the sbRIO-96xx to Power section in the CompactRIO Single Board Controller with DAQmx Hardware Installation Manual on ni.com/manuals for information about connecting the power supply.

Notice  

Exceeding the power limits may cause unpredictable device behavior.

Safety Voltages

Caution  

Do not connect the model to signals or use for measurements within Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.

Attention  

Ne connectez pas le modèle à des signaux et ne l'utilisez pas pour effectuer des mesures dans les catégories de mesure II, III ou IV.

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.

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.

Environmental Guidelines

Notice  

This model is intended for use in indoor applications only.

Notice  

The OEM Kit may require a heat sink or air flow to remain within the maximum allowed temperature ranges. You can mount the Thermal Kit for CompactRIO Single Board Controller with NI-DAQmx heat spreader on the NI sbRIO model.

Notice  

The Development Kit must be used with the Thermal Kit for CompactRIO Single Board Controller with NI-DAQmx.

Notice  

The model's thermal performance is greatly influenced by several factors, including resource utilization, mounting, and adjacent power dissipation. These factors can substantially affect the achievable external ambient temperature at which the maximum local and reported temperatures are reached. NI recommends you validate your system to ensure local and reported temperatures remain within maximum allowed temperature ranges. In some applications, additional thermal design may be necessary.

Notice  

Exercise caution when designing an enclosure for the model. Auxiliary cooling may be necessary to keep the model within the specified operating temperature range.

Notice  

For information about and examples of environmental and design factors that can affect the thermal performance of NI sbRIO systems, visit ni.com/r/sbriocooling.

Notice  

For model-specific guidelines about enabling proper thermal design, refer to the CompactRIO Single Board Controller with DAQmx Hardware Installation Manual on ni.com/manuals.

Local Ambient Temperature

Local ambient temperature is the temperature measured directly adjacent to the model.

Note  

Operating temperature refers to the temperature of the room, environment, or enclosure in which an sbRIO-9638 is installed. The maximum operating temperature allowable for sbRIO-9638 is determined by the monitored battery temperature. Refer to the device Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document on ni.com/manuals for more information.

Note  

For more information about designing a thermal solution, validating temperature, and measuring both local ambient temperature and operating temperature, refer to the CompactRIO Single-BoardController with NI-DAQmx Hardware Installation Manual on ni.com/manuals.
