Compliance

Electromagnetic Compatibility InformationThis hardware has been tested and found to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements and limits for electromagneticcompatibility (EMC) as indicated in the hardwares Declaration of Conformity (DoC) 1. These requirements and limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the hardware is operated in the intendedelectromagnetic environment. In special cases, for example when either highly sensitive or noisy hardware is being used in closeproximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to minimize the potential for electromagnetic interference.

While this hardware is compliant with the applicable regulatory EMC requirements, there is no guarantee that interference willnot occur in a particular installation. To minimize the potential for the hardware to cause interference to radio and televisionreception or to experience unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this hardware in strict accordance with theinstructions in the hardware documentation and the DoC 1.

If this hardware does cause interference with licensed radio communications services or other nearby electronics, which can bedetermined by turning the hardware off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing measures: Reorient the antenna of the receiver (the device suffering interference). Relocate the transmitter (the device generating interference) with respect to the receiver. Plug the transmitter into a different outlet so that the transmitter and the receiver are on different branch circuits.

Some hardware may require the use of a metal, shielded enclosure (windowless version) to meet the EMC requirements forspecial EMC environments such as, for marine use or in heavy industrial areas. Refer to the hardwares user documentation andthe DoC 1 for product installation requirements.

When the hardware is connected to a test object or to test leads, the system may become more sensitive to disturbances or maycause interference in the local electromagnetic environment.

Operation of this hardware in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference. Users are required to correct theinterference at their own expense or cease operation of the hardware.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by National Instruments could void the users right to operate the hardwareunder the local regulatory rules.

1 The Declaration of Conformity (DoC) contains important EMC compliance information and instructions for the user orinstaller. To obtain the DoC for this product, visit ni.com/certification , search by model number or product line,and click the appropriate link in the Certification column.
