23.6.3 Shielding
Any wire or cable assembly entering or exiting the S2000 PRO/ELITE may act like
an antenna which will pick up noise and transmit it to the internal electronics. This
may cause the S2000 PRO/ELITE to operate erratically.
There are several ways in which the S2000 PRO/ELITE can be shielded
(protected). Excelitas Canada recommends the use of shielded cables for all cable
assemblies: the AC line cord, the I/O cables and the foot switch. Furthermore, it is
advised that clamp-on ferrite shield beads be added to every cable assembly.
Suitable ferrite shield beads are: P/N: 0443164251 by Fair-Rite Products Corp. (or)
P/N: 28A2025-0A0 by Steward.
Noise suppression products are also available in the form of AC power bars that
incorporate surge suppression and noise suppression circuitry. Either type will help
in protecting the S2000 PRO/ELITE from noise. Providing the S2000 PRO/ELITE
with an AC line that is separate from any other noise producing equipment will also
be beneficial.
Depending on the noise Level in the environment, any combination or all of the
above shielding recommendations may be necessary to protect the S2000
PRO/ELITE from noise and ensure smooth operation. We can help you to shield
the S2000 PRO/ELITE from electrical noise. Please contact Excelitas Canada for
further assistance.
