Door

Operator panel

Ferrite core

Mounting plate in the cabinet

Power supply

24 V DC

The operator panel’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding
connection between the panel and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above.
1. Connect a wire that is sized correctly according to local electrical codes

between the operator panel’s quick-connect plinth and the panel’s chassis, see
2 in drawing above.

2. Connect a wire or grounding braid that is sized correctly according to local

electrical codes between the operator panel’s chassis and the closest grounding
point on the door, see 3 in drawing above.

3. Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device

cabinet, see 4 in drawing above.

4. Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed, see 5 in drawing above.

2 turns around the ferrite core provide 4 times the suppression of 1 turn.
3 turns around the ferrite core provide 9 times the suppression of 1 turn.

A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed, see 6 in drawing above.
