For optimum performance, ensure 100% screening
•
Ground the readhead mounting bracket
•
Ensure continuity of all shields
•
Use double shielded extension cable
•
Connect interface CASE to ground
•
Use shielded connector shells on all cable connections
•
Terminate the inner shield to 0V power at the customer interface
•
Maximise the distance between encoder and motor cables
