Ground the Chassis and Module
Use the following diagrams to ground your
I/O chassis and analog input module. Follow
these steps to prepare the cable:
Remove a length of cable
jacket from the Belden 8761 cable.
Pull the foil shield and bare
drain wire from the insulated wires.

When using shielded cable wire, ground the foil
shield and drain wire only at one end of the cable.
We recommend that you wrap the foil shield and
drain wire together and connect them to a chassis
mounting bolt.
At the opposite end of the cable, tape exposed
shield and drain wire with electrical tape to insulate
it from electrical contact.

SingleĆpoint Grounding
Extend shield to termination point.
Expose just enough cable to adequately
terminate inner conductors.
Use heat shrink tubing
or other suitable
insulation where wire
exits cable jacket.
Grounding Stud

Chassis Ground
When you connect grounding conductors to the I/O chassis
grounding stud, place a star washer under the first lug, then
place a nut with captive lock washer on top of each ground lug.
