Advice for Correct Installation for EMC
Instrument power supply
• The power supply to the electronic equipment on the
switchboards must always come directly from an isola-
tion device with a fuse for the instrument part.
• Theelectronicinstrumentsandelectromechanicalpower
devices such as relays, contactors, solenoid valves, etc.,
must always be powered by separate lines.
• Whentheelectronicinstrumentpowersupplyisstrongly
disturbed by the commutation of transistor or power units
or motors, an isolation transformer should be used for
the controllers only, earthing the screen.
• Itisessentialthattheplanthasagoodearthconnection:
- the voltage between neutral and earth must not be >1V
-theOhmicresistancemustbe<6Ω;
• Ifthemainsvoltagefluctuatesstrongly,useavoltage
stabilizer.
• Intheproximityofhighfrequencygeneratorsorarcwel-
ders, use adequate mains filters.
• Thepowersupplylinesmustbeseparatefromthe
instrument input and output ones.
Inputs and outputs connection
• Theexternallyconnectedcircuitsmustbedoublyisolated.
• Toconnecttheanalogueinputsandanalogoutputsthe
following is necessary:
- physically separate the input cables from those of the
power supply, the outputs and the power connections.
- use woven and screened cables, with the screen
earthed in one point only.
• Toconnecttherelayoutputs(contactors,solenoidvalves,
motors, fans, etc.), fit RC groups (resistance and coden-
sers in series) in parallel to the inductive loads that ope-
rate in Alternating Current.
(Note: all the condensers must conform to VDE
(class X2) standards and withstand a voltage of at
least 220V AC. The resistances must be at least 2W).

any damage to persons or property caused
by tampering, neglect, improper use or any use
which does not conform to the characteristics
