COMMS MANUAL aerl COOLMAX SR Australian Energy Research Laboratories, Pty.Ltd AER07.004 – Version G2 v9 January 2016 SHIELDING Important Correct shielding practice is important for error free communications. Incorrect shielding can cause more interference than unshielded cables would experience. Shields should be linked between each wire segment along the network but only grounded in one place.
