Ground the Chassis and Module

Use the following diagrams to ground your
I/O chassis and analog input module. Follow
these steps to prepare the cable:

Remove a length of cable

jacket from the Belden 8761 cable.

Pull the foil shield and bare

drain wire from the insulated wires.

When using shielded cable wire, ground the foil

shield and drain wire only at one end of the cable.

We recommend that you wrap the foil shield and

drain wire together and connect them to a chassis

mounting bolt.

At the opposite end of the cable, tape exposed

shield and drain wire with electrical tape to insulate

it from electrical contact.
