wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation,
and stationary motors with permanent connections to fixed installations.
•
Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the primary electrical supply
installation (<1,000 V). Examples include electricity meters and measurements on primary
overcurrent protection devices and on ripple control units.
Unpack and Verify Components
Remove the NI 17
xx
from the package and inspect the device for any sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do
not
use a damaged device.
For safety and compliance information, refer to the
section of this document.
Required Components
This section describes the hardware and software components necessary to set up and use the NI 17
xx
smart camera.
Hardware
The following hardware components are included in the NI 17
xx
kit:
❑
NI 17
xx
smart camera
❑
5-position lighting connector
In addition to the items included in the NI 17
xx
kit, the following components are necessary to set up
and configure the NI 17
xx
:
❑
One or two CAT 5 10/100Base-TX or CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cables. One Ethernet
cable is required to connect the NI 17
xx
directly to the development computer. Two Ethernet cables
are required to connect the NI 17
xx
to the development computer through a network.
Note
A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve maximum 1,000 Mbps
(Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables adhere to higher electrical
standards required for Gigabit Ethernet communication. CAT 5 cables are not guaranteed to meet the
necessary electrical requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work in some installations at
1,000 Mbps, CAT 5 cables are likely to cause increased bit errors resulting in degraded or unreliable
network performance.
❑
One of the following power supply options:
Caution
Use the NI 17
xx
smart camera only with a 24 VDC, UL listed, limited power source (LPS)
supply. The power supply will bear the UL listed mark, LPS. The power supply must also meet any
safety and compliance requirements for the country of use.
–
NI desktop power supply (part number 780237-01) and power supply cord. Refer to
ni.com
for the power supply cord part number specific to your region and ordering information.
–
Any 24 VDC, +20%, –15% (IEC 1311) power supply and one of the following cable options
for connecting to the power supply and I/O.
•
15-pin D-SUB pigtail cable, 5 m (part number 197818-05)
•
15-pin D-SUB to 15-pin D-SUB cable, 2 m (part number 197817-02)
