3.1.7  Noise filter (power supply line filter) 
A noise filter is a component which has an effect on conducted noise. With the 
exception of some models, it is not required to fit the noise filter to the power 
supply line, but fitting it can further suppress noise. (The noise filter has the 
effect of reducing conducted noise of 10 M Hz or less.) Use any of the following 
noise filters (double 
  type filters) or equivalent.

The precautions required when installing a noise filter are described below. 
 
(1) Do not bundle the wires on the input side and output side of the noise filter. 
When bundled, the output side noise will be induced into the input side 
wires from which the noise was filtered.

(a) The noise will be 
included when the input 
and output wires are 
bundled. 
  (b) Separate and lay the 
input and output wires. 
 
(2) Earth the noise filter earthing terminal to the control cabinet with the shortest 
wire possible (approx. 10 cm (3.94 in.)).
