Chapter 2 Quick Start for Experienced Users
• To be sure of optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping a
cable as short as possible. Locate the module as close to input devices as the
application permits.
Grounding Guidelines
• This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface such as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the
module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the
mounting surface cannot be grounded.
• Keep cable shield connections to ground as short as possible.
• Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The preferred location is as
follows.
– For grounded thermocouples or millivolt sensors, this is at the sensor
end.
– For insulated/ungrounded thermocouples, this is at the module end.
Contact your sensor manufacturer for additional details.
• Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1
, for additional information.

ATTENTION: The possibility exists that a grounded or exposed
thermocouple can become shorted to a potential greater than that of the
thermocouple itself. Due to possible shock hazard, take care when wiring
grounded or exposed thermocouples. See Appendix
D, Using
Thermocouple Junctions.
