NI USB 6251 external DC power supply

Hi, guys

 

I'm using NI USB-6251 BNC for my project and this DAQ needs external power supply.

 

Before, i used AC adaptor from 100-240VAC input to 12V output.

 

However, suddenly, i need to use this daq in environment that there is no AC power.

 

i think i can make 12V DC(using Li battery or... anyway), but 12V dc plug in DAQ is not universal.

 

in here, NI 6251 Specifications - NI,

they said 'USB devices must be powered with an NI offered AC adapter or a National Electric Code (NEC) Class 2 DC source'

 

it looks like it can be powered directly from other DC source.

 

So, can i power this DAQ using other I/O like terminal screw? or do i have to cut existing DC line on backside and connect 12V battery?

 

Thanks.
