Safety
Maximum Voltage1
Connect only voltages that are within the following limits.
Vsup-to-COM.....................................50 VDC,
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 NI 9478 to signals or use for
measurements within Measurement CategoriesII, III,
or IV.
1 The maximum voltage that can be applied or output between Vsup and COM without
creating a safety hazard.
