5.10  EARTH GROUNDING 

Here is a detailed description of the Earth Ground connection path:  

1. 

The input power cable assembly connects CONN4 to the mains power.  

2. 

Refer to the LKAT

2

 System Wiring Diagram and wire system accordingly.   

3. 

The earth ground wire connects from CONN4 to the FLTR1 metal case only.  The 
FLTR1 metal enclosure is not connected to copper foil traces on the Power Supply PC 
Board Assembly, the steel standoff inserts or the steel PCB mounting bracket. 

4. 

The Earth Ground connection is only used to shunt common mode noise to earth.  

 

IMPORTANT NOTE 

There is no electrical connection from any part of the LKAT Main PCB or its optional daughter 
PCBs to Earth / Chassis ground or the steel PCB mounting bracket or panel.  There is no 
electrical connection between the steel PCB mounting bracket or panel to Earth Ground. 

 

5.11 CONFIGURING THE LOW PASS FILTER 

The LKAT

2

 System includes a two pole configurable low pass filter. This filter may be enabled 

without affecting the scaling of the output in the pass band. The frequency response of the 
LKAT

2

 without the low pass filter activated is shown in Figure 3.1. 

Refer to the Main pc board assembly drawing at the end this manual.   To configure the low 
pass filter, set switches as shown in the table below.
