    (power supply, clock reading pulse sensor(s), PLC, Host etc.) via shielded cables. The cable shield, for example, for the data cable rests against the metal housing of the RFH620. The device can either be grounded through the cable shield or through one of the blind hole threads.
  • Page 40 Incorrect grounding of the RFH620 can, due to equipotential bonding currents between the RFH620 and other grounded devices in the system, place the metal housing under a dan- gerous voltage, cause malfunction and destruction of devices as well as damage to the ca- ble shielding through heating, and thus cause cable fires.
  • Page 41 Important The power supply for the RFH620 and the connected peripheral devices must also guaran- tee the required level of insulation. Under certain circumstances, a tangible potential can develop between the insulated metal housings and the local ground potential.
  • Page 42 6.5.1 Connecting the power supply for the RFH620 For the operation, the RFH620 requires a supply voltage of 10 V ... 30 V DC, SELV in accor- dance with currently applicable EN 60950-1. The typical current consumption is 5 W (with unwired switching outputs).
