Power Requirements
Caution
You must use a UL Listed ITE power supply marked
LPS
with the NI 9146.
Recommended power supply ................. 24 W, 24 VDC
Power consumption................................ 15 W maximum
Power supply input range....................... 9 to 30 V
Note
The power consumption specifications in this document are maximum values for a
LabVIEW FPGA application compiled at 40 MHz. Your application power requirements
may be different. To calculate the power requirements of the NI 9146, add the power
consumption/dissipation for the chassis and the I/O modules you are using. Keep in mind
that the resulting total power consumption is a maximum value and that the NI 9146 may
require less power in your application. For more information about the I/O module power
requirements, refer to the module operating instructions.
