Safety Guidelines
Caution
Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection
built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is
damaged, return it to NI for repair.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The cRIO-9063 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. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the cRIO-9063 in a
potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury
or death.
Do not operate the cRIO-9063 in a manner not specified in this document.
