• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
• Route interface cables indoors.
Lightning protection
To better protect the switch from lightning, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is well grounded.
• Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is well grounded.
