Installing a Ferrite

(USB-62221/6229 BNC Devices)

To ensure EMC compliance, you must install the ferrite

shipped with the USB-6221/6229 BNC.

Loop the power cabling through the ferrite at least five times. Install the ferrite as close as
possible to the end of the power cable, as shown in Figure 1-11.

Figure 1-11.
