Grounding and Power

2-7-1 Ground and Shield Considerations
Proper grounding is necessary for operator safety, noise reduction, and the protection of equipment
from voltage transients. Buildings, including any steelwork, all circuits, and all junction boxes must be
grounded directly to an earth ground in compliance with local and national electrical codes.
An earth ground is provided through the cable shields and chassis of the camera.
Ground Loops
Ground loops (signal degradation due to different ground potentials in communicating devices) can be
eliminated or minimized by ensuring that both the host, imager, and their power supplies are connected
to a common earth ground.
