Grounding Clamp
The shield of the transducer cable must be attached to the chassis with a Grounding Clamp
(AMCI part number GC-1) to guarantee a low impedance path to ground for any EMI radiation
that may be induced into the cable. The drain wire from the Grounding Clamp must be
connected to pin 3 of the MS-14 Transducer Input Connector. Pin 9 of the MS-14 connector is
internally connected to pin 3 and does not need an additional wire.
