Chapter 4
Installing the DL50
4–17
Note: If noise problems occur between a DL20 master display and a slave
DL50 display (RS-232), we recommend that you connect the shield of the
communication cable to chassis ground at both ends. The earth ground for
each device must be the same potential to insure that ground currents
do not flow.
Connect the slaves to the master using Belden 9842 cable. Figure 4.14 shows
the DL40 to DL50 wiring connections.
