Safety Information
The following section contains important safety information that you must
follow when installing and using the SCB-68.
Do not operate the SCB-68 in a manner not specified in this document.
Misuse of the SCB-68 can result in a hazard. You can compromise the
safety protection built into the SCB-68 if the device is damaged in any way.
If the SCB-68 is damaged, return it to NI for repair.
Do not substitute parts or modify the SCB-68 except as described in this
document. Use the SCB-68 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 SCB-68.
Do not operate the SCB-68 in an explosive atmosphere or where there may
be flammable gases or fumes. Operate the SCB-68 only at or below the
pollution degree stated in Appendix A, Specifications.
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 means no pollution or only dry, nonconductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
•Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in
most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
