Using EMC Kits

Introduction

To help shield the BMEAHO0412 signals from outside interference induced in series mode and interference in common mode, use EMC kits to ground the shielded cables connected to the module.

Cable Shielding

Connect the cable shielding to the grounding bar. Clamp the shielding to the shield bar on the module side. Use the BMX XSP 0400/0800/1200 EMC kit to connect the shielding.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

While mounting / removing the modules:

confirm that each terminal block is connected to the shield bar and
disconnect voltage supplying sensors and pre-actuators.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Using Pre-Actuators Referenced in Relation to the Ground

There are no specific technical constraints for referencing pre-actuators to the ground. It is nevertheless preferable to avoid returning a remote ground potential to the terminal that may be different to the ground potential close by.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Sensors and other peripherals may be connected to a grounding point some distance from the module. Such remote ground references may carry considerable potential differences with respect to local ground. Confirm that:

potentials greater than safety limits cannot exist,
induced currents do not affect the measurement or integrity of the system.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Electromagnetic Hazard Instructions

CAUTION

UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR OF APPLICATION

To reduce electromagnetic perturbations, use the BMX XSP 0400/0800/1200 EMC kit to connect the shielding without programmable filtering.

Electromagnetic perturbations may lead to an unexpected behavior of the application.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
