Mounting the cDAQ Chassis on a Panel
Caution
To maintain product performance and accuracy specifications when the
ambient temperature is between 60 °C and 70 °C, you must mount the chassis
horizontally to a metal panel or surface using the screw holes or the panel mount kit.
Measure the ambient temperature at each side of the CompactDAQ system 63.5 mm
(2.5 in.) from the side and 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rear cover of the system. For
further information about mounting configurations, go to
and enter

.
You can use a panel mount kit to mount the cDAQ chassis on a panel, or mount directly to the
panel with your own screws. For kit accessory ordering information, refer to the pricing section
of the NI cDAQ-9188XT product page at
.
Panel Mounting with a Panel Mount Kit
Use the NI 9905 panel mount kit to mount the cDAQ chassis on a panel.
Caution
Remove the C Series module(s) from the cDAQ chassis before you mount
the chassis to the panel. After the cDAQ chassis is mounted, you can reinsert the C
Series module(s).
Align the cDAQ chassis on the panel mount accessory and attach the chassis to the accessory
with two M4 × 17 screws (included in the kit), as shown in Figure 1-7. You
must
use these
screws because they are the correct depth and thread for the panel.
You can then attach the panel mount accessory to a wall or panel with the two holes or the
four keyholes with M4, M5, No. 8, or No. 10 panhead screws. National Instruments does
