Connection Diagram
Earth and ground loops are among the most common problems when using measuring setups
with sensitive sensor technology. These loops are caused by unwanted differences in potential
in the circuit between the sensor and the control interface.
Three different grounding concepts are described below. The appropriate concept should be
selected for the application. Note that different cable types and other accessories may be
required depending on the grounding concept.
Note
Various accessories are available for the VIM6* vibration sensors. These are available online at
