7 Mounting • A sufficiently stable carrier rail should be selected and, if necessary, sev- eral mounting points (every 20 cm) should be used in order to prevent bending and twisting (torsion). • The base of the components extends into the profile of the carrier rail. For carrier rails with a height of 7.5 mm, mounting points are to be riveted un- der the node in the carrier rail (slotted head captive screws or blind rivets).

8 Installation 8.4.2 Equipotential Bonding For equipotential bonding use a potential supply module! If you wish to use the lower power contact for equipotential bonding e.g. between screen connections and you need an extra terminal for such a potential use an additional WAGO Potential Supply Module 750-601/ 602/ 610 downstream of the WAGO Power Supply Filter 750-626.
8 Installation 8.5.1.3 Screening General The use of screened cables reduces electromagnetic influence and hence improves the sig- nal quality. Measurement errors, data transmission errors and errors due to overvoltage can be avoided. Connect cable screen to ground potential! Consistent screening is absolutely necessary to guarantee technical specifications regard- ing the measurement accuracy.
