Analog inputs and outputs are sensitive to electrical noise interference.
Take care to shield them properly.

Guidelines:

Use 22-gage (or larger) twisted-pair cable, 100% shielded with drain

wire, such as Belden 8761. For cable distances over 50 ft, use 18-gage
cable such as Belden 8760.

Ground the cable shield at one end only; generally at the sensor or

amplifier end of the cable, not at the I/O chassis (see Figure 2.4 and
Figure 2.5)
