3.1 Overview

This section shows the proper termination of the shield, if used.

Shielding of the SLC is recommended for use with the AFP-100, AFP-200, AFP-300/400, LIB-200, and AIM-200. Proper termination of

the shield depends on the type of conduit used:

•

Section 3.2, "No Conduit".

•

Section 3.3, "Full Conduit" (Canadian requirement).

•

Section 3.4, "Partial Conduit".

Shielding of the SLC is not recommended for use with the N16, NFS-320, NFS-320SYS, NFS2-640, NFS-640, NFS2-3030, NFS-3030,

SLM-318, LCM-320, LEM-320, LIB-200A or LIB-400. If twisted-shielded wire is used in one of these installations, use a floating

shield to terminate the wire as shown in Section 3.5, "Floating Shield", on page 27.

Use of good wiring practice consistent with local electrical codes is expected.

3.2 No Conduit

For use with the AFP-100, AFP-200, AFP-300/400, LIB-200, and AIM-200 only

Scrape the paint on the cabinet to bare metal to provide a good electrical connection. Fold the foil and drain wire back over the cable

jacket. Slide the cable into the connector clamp and secure. The drain wire should be connected to the connector screw. Do not allow the

shield drain wire or foil to enter the system cabinet.

3.3 Full Conduit

For use with the AFP-100, AFP-200, AFP-300/400, LIB-200, and AIM-200 only

Connect the metal conduit to the cabinet by using the proper connector. Feed the shielded wire through the conduit, into the control box.

The shield drain wire must be connected to the "reference" or "shield" terminal on the SLC terminal block, or connected to the negative

side of the loop if there is no "reference" or "shield" terminal on the SLC terminal block. Do not let the shield drain wire or the shield

foil touch the system cabinet or be connected to earth ground at any point.

NOTE: For Class A or Class X SLC wiring, connect one end of the shield to the reference/negative side of the respective channel.
