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 V /60 VDC), you must ensure that devices pk and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from human contact. You must use the NI 9932 connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible. Figure 1 shows the NI 9932 connector backshell. Note You can use the NI 9932 connector backshell

The NI 9201/9221 with screw terminal has a 10-terminal, detachable screw-terminal connector. The NI 9201/9221 with DSUB has a 25-pin DSUB connector. Each channel has an AI terminal or pin to which you can connect a voltage signal. COM, the common terminal or pin, is internally connected to the isolated ground reference of the module. The NI 9201/9221 channels are isolated from other modules in the system. The module protects each channel from overvoltages. Refer to the Specifications sect
