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 9209 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.
To ensure the specified EMC performance, Caution operate the NI 9209 with DSUB only with shielded cables and accessories. Do not use unshielded cables or accessories unless they are installed in a shielded...

No connection Signals You can connect single-ended or differential signals to the NI 9209. Use a differential measurement configuration to attain more accurate measurements and less noise. The following table shows the signal pairs that are valid for differential connection configurations with the NI 9209.
Connect the negative lead to COM through a 1 MΩ resistor to keep the signal source within the common-mode voltage range. The NI 9209 does not read data accurately if the signal source is outside of the common-mode voltage range.
Connect the ground signal to COM to keep the signal source within the common-mode voltage range. NI 9209 Connection Guidelines • Make sure that devices you connect to the NI 9209 are compatible with the module specifications. • You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on the NI 9209 with spring terminal.
