Connecting I/O Signals, for the NI 783xR connector pinouts.

Safety Information

The following section contains important safety information that you must

follow when installing and using the NI 783xR.

Do not operate the NI 783xR in a manner not specified in this document.

Misuse of the NI 783xR can result in a hazard. You can compromise the

safety protection built into the NI 783xR if the NI 783xR is damaged in any

way. If the NI 783xR is damaged, return it to NI for repair.

Do not substitute parts or modify the NI 783xR except as described in this

document. Use the NI783xR only with the chassis, modules, accessories,

and cables specified in the installation instructions. You must have all

covers and filler panels installed during operation of the NI783xR.

Do not operate the NI 783xR in an explosive atmosphere or where there

might be flammable gases or fumes. If you must operate the NI 783xR in

such an environment, it must be in a suitably rated enclosure.

If you need to clean the NI 783xR, use a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make sure

that the NI 783xR is completely dry and free from contaminants before

returning it to service.

Operate the NI783xR on ly at or below Pollution Degree 2. Pollution is

foreign matter in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state that can reduce dielectric

strength or surface resistivity. The following is a description of pollution

degrees:

•Pollution Degree 1—No pollution or only dry, nonconductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

•Pollution Degree 2—Only nonconductive pollution occurs in most

cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by

condensation can be expected.

•Pollution Degree 3—Conductive pollution occurs, or dry,

nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to

condensation.

You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which

the NI7 83xR is rated. Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the

NI7 83xR. Do not install wiring while the NI 783xR is live with electrical

signals. Do not remove or add connector blocks when power is connected
