Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the
following precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater
than 42.4 Vpk or 60 VDC to earth ground.
Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is
performed only by qualified personnel adhering to local
electrical standards.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and
human-accessible circuits on the same module.
Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to
the module are properly insulated from human contact.
Caution When module terminals are hazardous voltage
LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices
and circuits connected to the module are properly
insulated from human contact. You must use the NI 9939
connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are
not accessible.

only. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the NI 9217 in a
potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines
may result in serious injury or death.
Caution Do not disconnect I/O-side wires or connectors
unless power has been switched off or the area is known
to be nonhazardous.
Caution Do not remove modules unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Caution Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the system
in an enclosure rated to at least IP 54 as defined by
IEC 60529 and EN 60529.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, connected signals must
be within the following limit:
Capacitance..........................0.2 μF max

NI 9217 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe
This equipment has been evaluated as EEx nC IIC T4 equipment
under DEMKO Certificate No. 03 ATEX 0324020X. Each module
is marked
II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous
locations. If you are using the NI 9217 in Gas Group IIC hazardous
locations or in ambient temperatures of –40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C, you
must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as
EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Special Conditions for Marine Applications
Some modules are Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approved for
marine applications. To verify Lloyd’s Register certification, visit
ni.com/certification and search for the LR certificate, or
look for the Lloyd’s Register mark on the module.
Caution To meet radio frequency emission requirements
for marine applications, use shielded cables and install
the system in a metal enclosure. Suppression ferrites
must be installed on power supply inputs near power
entries to modules and controllers. Power supply and
module cables must be separated on opposite sides of the
enclosure and must enter and exit through opposing
enclosure walls.

NI 9217 Operating Instructions and Specifications
You can connect any combination of 3-wire or 4-wire RTDs to
the NI 9217. Each NI 9217 channel contains circuitry that
automatically detects the type of RTD connected to the channel.
The NI 9217 scans all four input channels and automatically
configures each channel for the appropriate mode. In 4-wire mode,
the EX terminal is a 1 mA current source. In 3-wire mode, the
RTD+ terminal is a 1 mA current source. The NI 9217
compensates for the error that lead resistance causes in 3-wire
mode. Refer to Figure 3 for an example of the input circuitry for
one channel of the NI 9217 in 4-wire mode.
Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9217.
The NI 9217 channels share a common ground that is isolated from
other modules in the system. Each channel is filtered and then
sampled by a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

Figure 3. Input Circuitry for One Channel of the NI 9217 in 4-Wire Mode
Each channel has one terminal, RTD+, to which you connect the
positive lead of the RTD signal and one terminal, RTD–, to which
you connect the negative lead of the RTD signal. Each channel also
has a common terminal, COM, and an excitation current source
terminal, EX. You must connect the COM terminal to RTD–. All
four COM terminals are internally connected to the isolated ground
reference of the module. If you are using shielded wiring, connect
one end of the shield to the COM terminal. Refer to Figure 4 for an
illustration of how to connect an RTD to the NI 9217.

NI 9217 Operating Instructions and Specifications
If you are using a 4-wire RTD, connect EX to the positive lead of
the RTD. If you are using a 3-wire RTD, do not connect the RTD
to the EX terminal. For the best measurement results when using
the NI 9217 with a 3-wire RTD, use equal-length wires between the
RTD+ terminal and the RTD and between the COM terminal and
the RTD. Also, keep the lead resistance within 5% of the nominal
RTD value. The NI 9217 accuracy specifications account for this
lead error. Refer to the Specifications section for more information
about accuracy.

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications
If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments
recommends that you either use ferrules to terminate wires to the
detachable screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9939 backshell
kit to protect the connections. Refer to Figure 5 for an illustration
of using ferrules. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the
NI 9939 connector backshell.

Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
