Install the Terminal
Chapter 2
Earth/Ground Connection
PanelView Plus 6 compact terminals use a DC power input and have an earth/
ground terminal that you must connect to a low-impedance earth/ground:
•
On 400 and 600 terminals, the earth/ground connection is on the power
terminal block.
•
On 1000 terminals, the earth/ground connection is on the rear of the
display module.
IMPORTANT
The earth/ground connection to ground is mandatory. This connection is
required for the following:
•
Noise immunity, reliability, and Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) with
the European Union (EU) EMC directive for CE-mark conformance
•
Safety by Underwriters Laboratory

ATTENTION:
Damage or malfunction can occur when a voltage potential exists
between two separate ground points. Make sure the terminal does not serve as
a conductive path between ground points at different potentials.
