EMC protection

Electrical and magnetic fields can often induce
interference voltages in the measuring circuit. Pay
attention to the following points to avoid this:
S Use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables
only (HBM cables fulfill both conditions)
S Do not route the measurement cable parallel to power
lines and control circuits. If this is not possible, protect
the measurement cable with metal tubing
S Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and
contact switches
S Please note that compensating currents flowing
across the cable shield can cause significant interfer­
ences. If the sensor and its evaluation unit have differ­
ent electrical potentials, an electrical connection with
very low resistance must be provided.
S Connect all the devices in the measuring chain to the
same protective earth conductor.
S Always connect the cable shield extensively on the
amplifier side, to create the best possible Faraday
cage.
