Chapter 2 Setup and ConfigurationNI CVS-1450 Series User Manual 2-4 ni.com• LabVIEW PID Control Toolset User Manual• LabVIEW HelpSafety InformationCaution The following paragraphs contain important safety information you must followwhen installing and operating the device.Do not operate the device in a manner not specified in the documentation.Misuse of the device may result in a hazard and may compromise the safetyprotection built into the device. If the device is damaged, turn it off and donot use it until service-trained personnel can check its safety. If necessary,return the device to National Instruments for repair.Keep away from live circuits. Do not remove equipment covers or shieldsunless you are trained to do so. If signal wires are connected to the device,hazardous voltages can exist even when the equipment is turned off. Toavoid a shock hazard, do not perform procedures involving cover or shieldremoval unless you are qualified to do so. Disconnect all field power priorto removing covers or shields.If the device is rated for use with hazardous voltages (>30 V rms, 42.4 V pk ,or 60 V dc ), it may require a safety earth-ground connection wire. Refer tothe device specifications for maximum voltage ratings.Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not installunauthorized parts or modify the device. Use the device only with thechassis, modules, accessories, and cables specified in the installationinstructions. All covers and filler panels must be installed while operatingthe device.Do not operate the device in an explosive atmosphere or where flammablegases or fumes may be present. Operate the device only at or below thepollution degree stated in the specifications. Pollution consists of anyforeign matter—solid, liquid, or gas—that may reduce dielectric strengthor surface resistivity. Pollution degrees are listed below:• Pollution Degree 1—No pollution or only dry, nonconductivepollution occurs. The pollution has no effect.• Pollution Degree 2—Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs.Occasionally, nonconductive pollution becomes conductive because ofcondensation.
