6.3 Cable extension
Only use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables for extension. En
sure that connection is perfect, with a low contact resistance.
The cable of a six-wire transducer can be extended with a cable of the same
type.
6.4 EMC protection
Electrical and magnetic fields often induce interference voltages in the mea
suring circuit. Therefore:
S Use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables only (HBM cables ful
fill both conditions)
S Do not route the measurement cables parallel to power lines and control cir
cuits. If this is not possible, protect the measurement cable with steel conduit
for example
S Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and contact switches
S Do not ground the transducer, amplifier and indicator more than once
S Connect all devices in the measurement chain to the same grounded
conductor
To ensure the best EMC protection, the transducer, together with the connec
tion cable and the subsequent electronics, should be placed in a shielded en
closure.
