2.4  Shielding and Earthing 
2.4.1 Introduction 
Due to requirements in EN54 and generic EMC-requirements, it is 
very important to keep in mind how to make earthing and shielding of 
cables when installing. 
2.4.2 Definitions 
Protective Earth 
Termination point to the external protective earth. In AutroSafe this 
is the connection at the BSS-103A/02 block terminal (terminal 1). 
Protective Earth to 
Cabinet 
Main earth connection which ensures that the cabinet always is 
connected to earth. 
Note: Must not be removed or unscrewed. 
Chassis 
Electrical connection to the steel cabinet. A screw on the rear 
mounting plate (up left to the Power Supply) is provided for this. 
This is in turn connected to the Protective Earth for human 
protection and earthing. 
Shield 
Termination point for the shielding of cables, where provided. 
0V_BAT 
Reference point for the battery circuit (isolated from earth/chassis).
