Noise Guidelines

Line Filtering Configurations For Controls

These three diagrams show filter configurations for removing input power noise.
Choose the one best suited for your system. For very dirty or critical applications -
use a microcomputer-regulated power supply or Uninterruptable Power Supply
(U.P.S.). Don't fasten common mode line filters or filters with metal cases to metal
at ground potential. This prevents ground loops and maintains filter effectiveness.

1 NOTE:
Keep filters 12" (305
mm) or less from the
control. Minimize the
line distance where
noise can be reintro-
duced to the control.

2 NOTE:
To prevent ground loops
do not fasten common
mode line filters or filters
with metal that is at
ground potential. Doing
so will reduce filter
effectiveness.
