6.3.5 Examples of shielding / grounding
Insulated sensor measuring inset (thermocouple, mV, RTD, ohms), transmitter housing grounded
The shielding of the sensor connection cable is grounded via the grounded transmitter housing. This shielding is insulated
from the sensor.
The shielding of the power supply cable is grounded at the supply isolator / DCS input directly. This shielding is insulated
from the transmitter housing.
The shielding of the power supply cable and the shielding of sensor connection cable must not be connected to one
another. Make sure that the shielding is not connected to ground anywhere else.

end

Insulated sensor measuring inset (thermocouple, mV, RTD, ohms), transmitter housing grounded
The shielding of the sensor connection cable is grounded via the grounded sensor housing. This shielding of the power
supply cable is insulated from the transmitter housing.
The shielding of the power supply cable is grounded at the supply isolator / DCS input directly. This shielding is insulated
from the transmitter housing.
The shielding of the power supply cable and the shielding of sensor connection cable must not be connected to one
