Caution

When module terminals are hazardous voltage LIVE (>42.4 V

pk

/60 VDC), you 

must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from 
human contact. You must use the NI 9972 connector backshell kit, as illustrated in Figure 3 
to ensure that the terminals are 

not

 accessible.
