Grounding the Device Server
WARNING
Be sure to disconnect power before installing and wiring the Device Server.
Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock.
Wiring
considerations
The following wiring considerations are recommended:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and device data cables. If power
wiring and device data cables must cross make sure that the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
• Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics route
separately.
• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should
be kept separate. The rule of thumb is wiring that shares similar electrical
characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input and output wiring separated.
• Label the wiring to all devices in the system for clarity.
CAUTION
The Device Server must be mounted to a well-grounded surface. Failure to
observe this caution could result in EMI problems.
Device server
grounding
The Device Server can eliminate the effects of noise due to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) via proper grounding. Always run the ground connection from
the ground screw to a grounding surface before connecting DC power. See Figure 5.
