The PXIe-1086DC ships with a power cord that has an appliance coupler and leads for
connection to the source. The cord requires custom termination. The following figure shows
the cord connector pinout.
You can order an additional or replacement cord from National Instruments. Part number
782108-01 is a US/CAN approved 3 m, three-conductor, 18 AWG cord with leads and suitable
for use in North America. Part number 785863-01 is an international harmonized power cord,
3 m, three-conductor, 1.0mm

cord with leads and suitable for use in the EU and
internationally. Installation must be done in accordance with local electric codes.
Caution
The PXIe-1086DC chassis must have a safety ground (protective earth),
which is connected by the installer to the premise safety ground system for safe
operation. The supplied power cord has a green ground wire for this purpose. The
safety ground method shall be reliable and meet applicable safety codes.
Attention
Pour un fonctionnement en toute sécurité, le châssis PXIe-1086DC doit
disposer d'un fil de protection (mise à la terre) relié par l'installateur au système de
mise à la terre du site. Le cordon d'alimentation fourni dispose d'un fil de protection
vert prévu à cet effet. La méthode de mise à la terre doit être fiable et respecter les
codes de sécurité applicables.
The Earth Ground Terminal on the rear of the chassis must be used where the power cord is
terminated via a standard power plug (for example, IEC 60320, NEMA 5-15). This provides a
supplemental protective earthing connection to prevent shock hazards if the ground in the plug
were to be interrupted. Complete the following steps to connect a protective conductor to this
terminal:
1.
Connect a 18 AWG wire to the Earth Ground Terminal using a grounding lug. The wire
must have green insulation with a yellow stripe or must be noninsulated (bare). The lug
must be sized for the M4 x 6 screw.
2.
Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground using toothed washers or a
toothed lug.
