If my NI wiring is going to go through a Div 1 Area, do I have to treat this as if it were any other wiring that requires 501.10(A) requirements? In other words, my assumption is that since NI is not permitted in Div. 1 Area that the cable has to be treated like any other non-Intrinsically Safe wiring.

For Clarification, The NI instrument is in a Div 2 area and it is being sourced from a Div 2. Area. It just may have to go through the Div 1. area.

The conductors themselves are probably OK, but you will need to use threaded raceways in the Division 1 location [501.10(A)(1)(a)] and to observe boundary seal requirements [501.15(A)(4)].
