• Be sure to ground the FG at the external device. Ground the grounding terminal to the
protective grounding system.
•
Connect the FG to the SG of the RS-232C circuit (pin No. 7 for D-sub25, and pin No. 5
for D-sub9) at the external device.
• Ground the cable shielding wires at the external device side.
• If the signal cable is prepared by users, make sure the cable is the type of twisted pair
cable in which a signal wire and a ground wire are paired.
Connect the shielding wires of the RS-232C communications cable to the FG at the external
device as follows:
Ground the FG at the external device. Ground the grounding terminal to the protective
grounding system.
Check that the FG (pin No. 1 for D-sub25) and the SG (pin No. 7 for D-sub25) are connected
to each other at the RS-232C communications connector on the external device side. Also,
check that the FG is connected to the grounding terminal at the external device.

Usually in the external devices, as shown in the following figure, SG and FG are short-circuit-
ed by a jumper-pin (J1) (see the figure bellow) upon shipment. (If it is not, short-circuit J1.) T
o
meet the above requirement, the FG and SG may be connected directly.
