National Instruments NI 1450 Series Earth Ground Connection

Chapter 3 LEDs, DIP Switches, and Connectors

Figure3-4 shows the power connector on the NI 1450, and Table3-2

describes each terminal on the connector.

Figure 3-4. Power Connector

Earth Ground Connection

Some system setups may require using the grounding lug on the NI 1450 to

connect the chassis to earth ground. Connecting the grounding lug, shown

in Figure3-5, to earth ground connects the common of the main power to

earth ground through the NI 1450 chassis.

Note An earth ground connection does not connect Ciso to earth ground.
