NI WSN Safety Information The following section contains important safety information that you must follow when installing and using NI WSN products. Caution Do not substitute parts or modify the NI WSN product. Use the product only with the devices, accessories, and cables specified in the installation instructions. Caution Do not operate a NI WSN products in an explosive atmosphere or where there may be flammable gases or fumes. If you need to operate NI WSN products in such an environment, the NI WSN products must be in a suitably rated enclosure. Caution

If you need to clean a NI WSN product, use a dry towel. The product must be completely dry and free from contaminants before you return it to service.

Caution

Operate the product only at or below Pollution Degree 2. Pollution is foreign matter in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state that can reduce dielectric strength or surface resistivity. The following is a description of pollution degrees: •

Pollution Degree 1 means no pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

•

Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.

•

Pollution Degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation. Caution

You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which the NI WSN product is rated. Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the product. Do not install wiring while the product is live with electrical signals. Do not remove or add connector blocks when power is connected to the NI WSN system. Avoid contact between your body and the connector block signal wiring when hot-swapping devices. Operate NI WSN products at or below the installation category1 marked on the hardware label. Measurement circuits are subjected to working voltages2 and transient stresses (overvoltage) from the circuit to which they are connected during measurement or test. Installation categories establish standard impulse withstand voltage levels that commonly occur in electrical distribution systems. The following is a description of installation categories: •

Installation Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS3 voltage. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.

•

Installation Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution 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). Examples of Installation Category II are measurements performed on household appliances, portable tools, and similar products.

•

Installation Category III is for measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level. This category refers to measurements on hard-wired equipment such as equipment in fixed installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other examples are wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and stationary motors with permanent connections to fixed installations.

•

Installation Category IV is for measurements performed at the primary electrical supply installation (
