Owner's manual

This section discusses the type of installation required depending on the electrical environment.
Typically, this will be an office, laboratory or industrial environment where there is no equipment likely to produce high
levels of electrical interference, such as welders or machine tools.
Connections may be made using twisted, unscreened wire. This is a cost effective option and will give good
performance in this environment.
Standard equipment wire such as 7/0.2 (24AWG) can be twisted together as required. Standard data cable such as
generic CAT5 UTP will also give good performance.
Typically, this will be an industrial environment where there is equipment likely to produce high levels of electrical
interference, such as welders, machine tools, cutting and stamping machines.
Connections should be made using screened cable. Braided or foil screened cables may be used. The cable screen
should be connected to the LDX-3A case at cable entry point. The case of the LDX-3A should be connected to a local
ground. An EMC cable gland is recommended. This is supplied with the LDX-3A.
When selecting the type or wire or cable to be used, consider the following parameters:
- Screening.
- Conductor size (resistance).
- Mechanical aspects such as flexibility and robustness.
This is not a complete list. Installations may require other special cable characteristics.
