and RS232 serial communications to a PC host with a DE9 serial port
connector.

3.5.2 Wiring
Use shielded cable only. Connect shield drain of the power and data
cabling to either ground on the J1 connector (terminal 2 or 4).
Recommended cable for RS422 is Belden 3107A, 3108A or
compatible.
Recommended cable for RS232 is Belden 9941 or compatible.
To fully comply with FCC and CE Regulations, wind the power and
data cabling around a type 43 ferrite toroid such as Fairrite™ part
number 2643803802 or Amidon™ part number FT-240-43. Install the
toroid as close as possible to the LRP75’s gland nut. You must
connect the internal ground screw, shown in Figure 3-1 on page 7, to
the nearest earth ground outside the unit.
To make the ground connection, first terminate a length of 1/8-inch
copper braid with a ring terminal such as Panduit™ part number P18-
45. Fasten the ring terminal to the ground screw. For a tight seal,
chase the braid through the gland nut against the data and power
cabling.
