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.
