RFI and EMC shield
Notes:
Ground loops through the armor must be avoided.
If armor is connected to the XNX transmitter via a conductive
EXd cable gland, the armor must not be earthed at any other
location (this will prevent ground loops). Since it is already earthed
at the transmitter. Armor must be grounded only if an isolating gland
is used to connect it to the transmitter.
Ground loops through the RFI and EMC shield must be avoided.
RFI and EMC shield must be connected to a clean/instrumentation
earth ground at the control room. To avoid an earth loop, connect it
only at the control room (not at the transmitter).
