ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

 

 
NOTE: The datasheet is the first document you need to refer to for model-specific information

i

³C Lite models such as pin-outs and other key installation information

4.1 

Grounding Definition  

Ground:

  The  term 

Ground

  is  defined  as  a  conductive  connection  between  a  circuit  or  piece  of 

equipment and the earth. Grounds are fundamentally used to protect an application from harmful 
interference causing either physical damage such as by lightning or voltage transients or from circuit 
disruption often caused by radio frequency interference (RFI). 
 

4.2 

Ground Specifications 

Ideally, a ground resistance measurement from equipment to earth ground is 0

Ω

. In reality, it typically 

is higher. The U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) states the resistance to ground shall not exceed 25

Ω

. 

IMO Automation recommends less than 15

Ω

 resistance from our equipment to ground. Resistance 

greater than 25

Ω

 can cause undesirable or harmful interference to the device.
