1.7.2 CNFL-5M Color Code and Shield Wire
The following diagram shows the color code of the CNFL-5M as well as connection between the cable shield
and the connector.
The shield wire on the CNFL-5M is connected to the metal body of the connector.
Therefore, the shield wire of the CNFL-5M is connected to chassis ground through the
SV160E2. You must exercise caution when connecting shielded cable to the CNFL-5M
to avoid ground loops.
Figure T1.5 CNFL-5M Cable
1.7.3 Cable Shields
Because they are low power signals, cabling from the sensor to the SV160E2 should be done using a twisted
pair cable with an overall shield. The shield should be grounded at the end when the signal is generated,
which is the sensor end. If this is not practical, the shield should be grounded to the same ground bus as the
SV160E2.
The shield wire on the CNFL-5M is connected to the metal body of the connector.
Therefore, the shield wire of the CNFL-5M is connected to chassis ground through the
SV160E2. You must exercise caution when connecting shielded cable to the CNFL-5M
to avoid ground loops.
