NI 9423 8-Channel Sinking Digital Input Module This document explains how to connect to the NI 9423. In this document, the NI 9423 with screw terminal and the NI 9423 with spring terminal are referred to inclusively as the NI 9423.
The guidelines in this document are specific to Note the NI 9423. The other components in the system might not meet the same safety ratings. Refer to the documentation for each component in the system to determine the safety and EMC ratings for the entire system.
This category refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as that provided by a standard wall outlet, for example, 115 V for U.S. or 230 V for Europe. Do not connect the NI 9423 to signals or use Caution for measurements within Measurement Categories III or IV.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI 9423 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.

II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2 hazardous locations, in ambient temperatures of -40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI 9423 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, Ex IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
In addition, take precautions when designing, selecting, and installing measurement probes and cables to ensure that the desired EMC performance is attained. 8 | ni.com | NI 9423 Getting Started Guide...
Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment in which you are using the NI 9423 meets the following specifications............Operating temperature -40 °C to 70 °C (IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2) ............Operating humidity 10% RH to 90% RH, (IEC 60068-2-78) noncondensing ............
