General Installation EMC Considerations 
Earthing Requirements 
IMPORTANT  Protective earthing always takes precedence over EMC screening. 
Protective Earth (PE) Connections 
Note  In accordance with installations to EN60204, only one protective earth conductor is permitted at each 
protective earth terminal contacting point. 
Local wiring regulations tale precedence and may require the protective earth connection of the motor to be 
connected locally, i.e. not as specified in these instructions. This will not cause shielding problems because 
of the relatively high RF impedance of the local earth connection. 
EMC Earth Connections 
For compliance with EMC requirements, we recommend that the “0V/signal ground” be separately earthed. 
When a number of units are used in a system, these terminals should be connected together at a single, local 
earthing point. 
Control and signal cables for the encoder, all analogue inputs, and communications require screening with 
the screen connected only at the VSD (Variable Speed Drive) end. However, if high frequency noise is still 
a problem, earth the screen at the non-VSD end via a 0.1µF capacitor. 
Note  Connect the screen (at the VSD end) to the VSD protective earth point 
, and not to the control board 
terminals.
