Transient and RFI Interference
Transient and RFI interference precautions include:
• Although there are transient and noise protectors on all analyzer unit I/O
connections (communications, current outputs, analyzer, etc.), this protec-
tion is intended to act as a last line of defense against unwanted transient
and RFI interference.
• Proper installation practices to prevent the introduction of transients and
noise into the system must be followed. Inductive loads connected to the
analyzer unit must have transient suppressors installed at the inductive
loads. Be sure to place the transient suppressor as close to the load as pos-
sible. Examples of transient suppressors include MOVs, TRANSORBs, and RC
snubbers.
• AC mains supply wiring should not be run in the same conduit with mains
supply wiring that feeds heavy inductive loads.
• Avoid running signal wiring in the same cable or conduit with wires that
power inductive loads unless all the cables within the conduit are shielded,
the inductive loads are small, and transient suppressors are used at the
loads.
• Do not run signal lines in the same cable or conduit with high
voltage lines.
• For optimum noise protection, Display User Interface mains supply wir-
ing should be connected to a circuit separate from any circuit that could
introduce transients into the system. As an example, do not run motors,
blowers, or air conditioners using the same mains supply circuit or conduit
as the analyzer unit’s mains supply circuit or conduit.
