Notice
All parts of the measurement chain (including all cable
connection points such as plugs and couplings) must be
surrounded by a closed EMC-proof shield. Shield junc
tions must represent a full contact, closed and low-im
pedance connection. This is the case for original HBM
plug connections.
Ground connection and grounding
As the signal ground and shielding are separated in
EMC-compliant cabling, the shielding can be connected
at more than one point to the ground, i.e. via the trans
ducer (metal housing) and the amplifier (housing is con
nected to the grounded conductor).
