Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages
If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the following
precautions. A hazardous voltage is a voltage greater than 42.4 Vpk or
60 VDC to earth ground.
Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by qualified personnel
adhering to local electrical standards.
Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on the same
module.
Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly
insulated from human contact.
Caution When module terminals are live with hazardous voltages, make sure that the
terminals are not accessible by using the high voltage screw terminal enclosure. Refer to
the Assembling the High Voltage Screw Terminal Backshell section for more information.
Software
Software support for your hardware depends on the carrier being used.

Wiring the USB-9211/9211A
The USB-9211/9211A has a 10-terminal, detachable high voltage screw
terminal enclosure that provides connections for four thermocouple input
channels. Each channel has a terminal to which you can connect the
positive lead of the thermocouple, TC+, and a terminal to which
you can connect the negative lead of the thermocouple, TC–. The
USB-9211/9211A also has a common terminal, COM, that is internally
connected to the isolated ground reference of the module.
Caution The high voltage screw terminal backshell must be installed when using
hazardous voltages (>42.4 Vpk, 60 VDC).
If you are unsure which of the thermocouple leads is positive and which is
negative, check the thermocouple documentation or the thermocouple wire
spool. If you are using shielded wiring, connect one end of the shield to the
COM terminal.

Refer to Table 3 for the terminal assignments for each channel.
Assembling the High Voltage Screw Terminal Backshell
The high voltage screw terminal backshell must be installed when using
hazardous voltages (>42.4 Vpk, 60 VDC). Refer to Figure 7 while
completing the following steps:
1. Connect the leads to the screw terminal and secure with the strain
relief.
2. Finish by snapping the backshell around the connector.

USB-9211/9211A Circuitry
The USB-9211/9211A channels share a common ground that is isolated
from the chassis and the host computer. Each channel has an impedance
between the TC+and COM terminals and between the TC– and COM
terminals. Each channel is filtered and then sampled by a 24-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). There is a current source between the
TC+ and TC– terminals. If an open thermocouple is connected to the
channel, the current source forces a full-scale voltage across the terminals.
Effects of Source Impedance on Voltage Measurement Accuracy
The resistors shown in Figure 8 produce an input impedance at the
terminals of the USB-9211/9211A.

Figure 8. Input Circuitry for One Channel
If thermocouples are connected to the USB-9211/9211A, the gain and
offset errors resulting from the source impedance of the thermocouples are
negligible for most applications. Other voltage sources with a higher source
impedance can introduce more significant errors. For more information
about errors resulting from source impedance, refer to the Specifications
section.
Determining Temperature Measurement Accuracy and
Minimizing Errors
Temperature measurement errors depend in part on the thermocouple type,
the temperature being measured, the accuracy of the thermocouple, and the
cold-junction temperature.
Using the Autozero Channel
The USB-9211/9211A has an internal autozero channel for measuring the
offset error. If the ambient temperature of the USB-9211/9211A is less than
15 °C or more than 35 °C, use this channel to read the offset error. The
USB-9211 always has this channel enabled. Use NI-DAQmx to configure
the behavior of the autozero channel for the USB-9211A. Refer to the
NI-DAQmx Help, accessible from Start»All Programs»National
Instruments»NI-DAQ, for more information.
