Electrode Cable; Protective Wiring Of Switching Contacts - Hach LANGE si629 P Bedienungsanleitung

3. Installation

3.3. Electrode cable

Coaxial cable
Installation of BNC connector to the cable
The instrument is supplied with a BNC connector, to be screwed directly (without weldings) to the coaxial
cable. To assemble it, the cable must be prepared and the connector screwed (see diagram below).

Coaxial cable
Using a triaxial cable the connector is assemblied in the same way as with the coaxial cable, leaving
the "additional" shielding and the outer protector out of the connector. The additional shielding must be
connected to ground.

3.4. Protective wiring of switching contacts

Relay contacts are subjected to electrical erosion.
Especially with inductive and capacitive loads, the service life of the contacts will be reduced.
For suppression of sparks and arcing, components such as RC combinations, nonlinear resistors, series
resistors and diodes should be used.
