Grounding

Grounding protects people and machines against hazardous voltages. To avoid these dan-

gers, correct installation, taking the local conditions into account, is vital. All Wavetronix

Click devices must be grounded so that any possible interference is shielded from the data

telegram and discharged to ground potential.

A wire of at least 2.5 mm must be used for grounding. When mounting on a DIN rail, the

DIN rail must be connected with protective earth ground using grounding terminal blocks.

The module is connected to protective earth ground via a metal clip on the rear of the hous-

ing.

Note

In an environment particularly prone to EMI, noise immunity can be increased by an
additional low-impedance connection to functional earth via terminal 7.
