Inuence of Cable Length
Appx. 5 Inuence of Cable Length
When the instrument is incorporated in a production line or automated machine, the
measurement cable may be extended. When the measurement cable is extended,
measured values can be affected by coupling capacitance between cables or line
noise. The level of inuence on measured values when the measurement cable is
extended is shown below.
For the inuence of a capacitive load, refer to “Appx. 4 Inuence of Capacitive Load”
(p. Appx.4). For the inuence of line noise, refer to “Appx. 6 Inuence of Noise” (p. Appx.7).

Cautions for measurement cable wiring
• When the measurement cable is laid on a metal ground, the inuence of noise can be reduced.
• When the measurement cable is extended, the inuence of power line noise becomes more
signicant. Position the measurement cable away from the power line.
• Position the measurement cable away from any noise sources (motor, welder, inverter, etc.).
