ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
•
Any connection made to provide a noise ground should be kept as short as possible
using the largest practical wire gauge. This is necessary to keep the inductance of
the connection as low as possible. Bear in mind that noise spikes have very short rise
times and that any inductance will appear as a high impedance.
•
For best noise reduction performance the microprocessor-based device's ground
terminal should be connected to a nearby grounded large metal structure, using the
shortest length wire possible. If a three-wire cordset is used to power the
microprocessor-based device through a receptacle, the ground wire is generally too
long and too noisy to be a good ground.

3.5.1 Thermocouple and Cold Junction Compensation Input
Make thermocouple connections as shown in Figure 3-3. At least one cold junction
compensation input is recommended for each controller to sense the temperature at the
terminal block. Use a 2009AZ102*0A 2-wire RTD Input Module with RTD sensor as
described in Section 3.5.6 for cold junction compensation. Thermocouple input
