• Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the primary electrical supply
installation (<1,000 V). Examples include electricity meters and measurements on primary
overcurrent protection devices and on ripple control units.
Unpack and Verify Components
Remove the NI Smart Camera from the package and inspect the device for any sign of damage. Notify
National Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not use a damaged device.
For safety and compliance information, refer to the specifications in the NI 17xx Smart Camera User
Manual.
Required Components
This section describes the hardware and software components necessary to set up and use the NI Smart
Camera.
Hardware
The following hardware components are included in the NI Smart Camera kit:
❑
NI 17xx Smart Camera
❑
5-position lighting connector (additional/replacement plugs for use with the lighting connector
are available from NI, part number 780260-01)
In addition to the items included in the smart camera kit, the following components are necessary to set
up and configure the smart camera:
❑
One or two CAT 5 10/100Base-TX or CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cables. One Ethernet
cable is required to connect the smart camera directly to the development computer. Two Ethernet
cables are required to connect the smart camera to the development computer through a network.
Note A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve maximum 1,000 Mbps
(Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet cables adhere to higher electrical
standards required for Gigabit Ethernet communication. CAT 5 cables are not guaranteed to meet the
necessary electrical requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps in some
installations, CAT 5 cables are likely to cause increased bit errors resulting in degraded or unreliable
network performance.
❑
One of the following power supply options:
Caution Use the smart camera only with a 24 VDC, UL listed, limited power source (LPS) supply.
The power supply will bear the UL listed mark, LPS. The power supply must also meet any safety
and compliance requirements for the country of use.
– NI desktop power supply (part number 780237-01) and power supply cord. Refer to ni.com
for the power supply cord part number specific to your region and ordering information.
– Any 24 VDC, +20%/–15% (IEC 1311) power supply and one of the following cable options
for connecting to the power supply and I/O:
• 15-pin D-SUB pigtail cable, 5 m (part number 197818-05)
• 15-pin D-SUB to 15-pin D-SUB cable, 2 m (part number 197817-02)
or 5 m (part number 197817-05), and a 15-pin D-SUB terminal block
