© National Instruments Corporation 15 NI 9144 User Guide and SpecificationsMeasurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits notdirectly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to asMAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system thatpowers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages fromspecially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements includesignal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment,circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources, and electronics.Caution Do not connect the system to signals or use for measurements withinMeasurement Categories II, III, or IV.Hazardous LocationsU.S. (UL)................................................
