Fig 4 BA324D installation procedure

5.3 EMC

The BA324D complies with the requirements of the
European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. For
specified immunity all wiring should be in screened
twisted pairs, with the screens earthed in the safe
area

Additional immunity may be obtained by
connecting the BA324D earth terminal to a local
earth, or to a cable screen which is earthed in the
safe area. If this terminal is not connected,
personal and intrinsic safety will not be degraded.
