Ground the Chassis and Module
Use the following diagrams to ground your
I/O chassis and input module. Follow these
steps to prepare the cable:
Refer to Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1 for additional
information.
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.

Single-point Grounding
Extend shield to termination point.
Expose just enough cable to adequately
terminate inner conductors.
Use heat shrink tubing
or other suitable
insulation where wire
exits cable jacket.
Grounding Stud
1 Use the cup washer if crimp-on lugs are not used.
Chassis Ground
When you connect grounding conductors to the I/O chassis
grounding stud, place a star washer under the first lug, then
place a nut with captive lock washer on top of each ground lug.
