6 Additional Installation Tips
When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments
or when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations
are to be noticed.

The Panel PC’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding connection
between the Panel PC and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above.
1. Connect a 2.5 mm
2 wire between the Panel PC’s quick-connect plinth and the
panel chassis, see 2 in drawing above.
2. Connect a 6 or 4 mm 2 wire or grounding braid between the 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.
Note:
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies
and will not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick
grounding braid.
