(AWG18), connected to the protective ground connector
at the back of the terminal.
3.4 Making the screen connection
When using screened cables always make sure screens are grounded and connected in
according to applicable engineering methods. This may include checking for appropri-
ate grounding points near the terminal, for instance, in the cubicle and/or near the source
of measuring. Ensure that ground connections are made with short (max. 10 cm) con-
ductors of an adequate cross section, at least 6 mm
