Quick Start - Software Version 1.1x & 2.x 5.5. Connecting Shields To obtain full EMC or for RFI immunity, cable shields MUST be connected and the earth lug on the rear of the instrument must be grounded. This figure illustrates an example of possible connections. Also shown are the connecting cables restrained using cable ties fastened by screws into the rear of the unit.
Quick Start - Software Version 1.1x & 2.x 5.5.1. Cable Shield Connection and Earthing • Care should be taken when connecting shields to maximise EMC or RFI immunity and minimise earth loops and cross-talk (interference) between instruments. • For full EMC or for RFI immunity, termination of the cable shields at the earth lug is very important.
Quick Start - Software Version 1.1x & 2.x 6. Instrument Setup 6.1. Calibration Counter Within Setup there are a number of critical steps that can affect the legal for trade performance of the instrument. If any of these steps are altered, the trade certification of the scale could be voided.
