Screening
Twisted screened cable should be used for connections
via the RS485 interface.
• Earth the screens of all cables that lead to
the cabinet, upon entering the cabinet.
• Connect the screens over a generous area and in a
manner that will conduct well, to a low-noise earth.
• Gather the cables mechanically above the earthing
clamp in order to avoid damage due to cable
movements.
• Use suitable cable glands to feed the cables
into the cabinet - for example armoured conduit
couplings.
Cable type
The cable used must be suitable for an environmental
temperature of at least 80°C.
Recommended cable types:
Unitronic Li2YCY(TP) 2x2x0.22 (from Lapp Kabel)
Unitronic BUS L2/FIP 1x2x0.64 (from Lapp Kabel)
