. Earth loops can however occur between the sensors of different channels 
of a module.

To avoid such loops, we recommend the use of earth-free sensors or sig-
nal sources.

Measuring device—computer earth loop

Most of the device's interfaces are galvanically isolated towards each other 
and towards the central device. The earth loop through the communication 
circuit as shown in the example does not occur with this device.

Use these interfaces to connect the device to PCs, PLCs or to other man-
ufacturers’ equipment.

6.4  Shielding

Measurement signals can be disrupted by the occurrence of magnetic and 
electric fields in the measuring circuits, for example generated by neigh-
bouring current-carrying circuits. Shielded cables should therefore always 
be used for sensor circuitry and kept at least 50 cm away from other cur-
rent-carrying circuits.

The smaller the sensor signal and/or the higher the sensor impedance, the 
more important good shielding becomes for a low noise, accurate reading.

To prevent 

earth loops

, earth the shield on one side of the circuit only (see 

example).

a) Sensors without earth

Earthing of the shield is in this case one-sided and directly at the device 
(PE connection on the power supply).
