Grounding A low impedance connection with a maximum length of 3 m (9.84 ft) must be
installed between the splitter box's ground electrode and the reference ground in
order to discharge the noise voltages. The inductance of standard grounding cables
(PE) presents a risk of high impedance when high frequency noise voltages are
present. It is therefore advisable to use grounding strips. If this solution is not
possible, use a ground conductor with a large cable cross-section and a ground
connection that is as short as possible.
Cable Routing Make sure that the following basic wiring rules are followed:
Keep the data wire and the power cables apart from one another, in so far as is
possible.
Make sure there is a space of at least 10 cm (3.94 inches) between the data wires
and the power cables.
The data wires and power cables must only cross at a right angle to one another.
It is advisable to route the data wires and power cables through separate shielded
ducts.
When laying the cables, the noise voltage from other devices or wires must be
considered. This particularly applies to frequency converters, motors and other
devices or cables generating high frequency disturbances. High frequency
sources and the cables described in this manual must be as far apart from each
other as possible.
RISK OF UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
If the box is not connected to the ground, or if the ground connection is made using
an inappropriate cable, the product will be sensitive to electromagnetic
disturbances. This may lead to unexpected equipment operation.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
WARNING
RISK OF UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Please read and comply with the cabling rules listed above. Failure to comply with
these wiring rules is a common cause of EMC problems! This may lead to
unexpected equipment operation.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
