Minimising Interference - Kipp & Zonen CT24 Instruction Manual

3.1

Minimising interference

Use sensors with shielded cables.
All Kipp & Zonen sensor cables have an internal shield
that can be connected to a ground.
Many passive Kipp & Zonen sensors have the shield
connected to the sensor housing. If the sensor is
mounted to a grounded frame, the shield of the input
cable is grounded too.
If the grounding at the sensor is not sure, but shielding is
necessary, the shield can be grounded via the output
cable or at the CT 24. For this purpose pin 1 of the input
connector strips can be used or one of the screws that
holds the PC board in place.
The output cable can be unshielded or shielded.
