30 m long or if the equipment is used outdoors. Customers should take additional pre­
cautions in these cases.
Please note:
S
Connect the connecting cable shield all over the surface of the shielding electronics
housing. When using several load cells, connect the shields all over the surface of the
junction box (combination of transducer signals, e.g. type VKK2 from HBM). From
there, connect the measurement cable for the electronics over the surface of the
junction box and the shielding electronics housing.
S
The shield of the connecting cable must not be used for discharging potential
differences within the system. You must therefore lay sufficiently dimensioned
potential equalization lines to compensate for possible potential differences.
S
Use shielded low-capacitance measurement cables only (HBM cables fulfill these
conditions).
S
Do not route measurement cables parallel to electric cables, especially power lines
and control circuits. If this is not possible, protect the measurement cable, for
example with steel conduits.
S
Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and contact switches.
Important
Potential equalization is specified for applications in potentially explosive atmospheres.
