EMI

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the firewall and application
system, adversely affect the firewall in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance

coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including grounding system)

coupling. To prevent EMI, perform the following steps:

Take measures against interference from the power grid.

Do not use the firewall together with the grounding equipment or lightning-prevention equipment
of power equipment, and keep the firewall far away from them.

Keep the firewall far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high
frequency or high current.

Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning protection

To protect the firewall from lightning better, do as follows:

Make sure the chassis is properly grounded. For how to ground the firewall, see "

Grounding the

firewall

."

Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is properly grounded.

Install a lightning protector at the input end of the power supply to enhance lightning protection
capability. For more information, see "

Connecting the AC power supply to a power strip with

lightning protection
