* To minimise the risk of interference, a shielded cable is recommended when the cable is located inside 3 m
boundary to the rails and connected to this port. The cable shield should be properly connected (360º) to an
earthing point within 1 m from this port. This earthing point should have a low impedance connection to the
conductive enclosure of the apparatus cabinet, or similar, where the unit is built-in. This conductive enclosure
should be connected to the earthing system of an installation and may be directly connected to the protective
earth.
