EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Although Red Lion Controls products are designed with a high 

degree of immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), proper 

installation and wiring methods must be followed to ensure 

compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical noise, 

source or coupling method into a unit may be different for various 

installations. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are 

very important and can mean the difference between a successful 

or troublesome installation. Listed are some EMI guidelines for a 

successful installation in an industrial environment.

1. A unit should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is 

properly connected to protective earth.

2. Use shielded cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The 

shield connection should be made as short as possible. The 

connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the 

application. Listed below are the recommended methods of 

connecting the shield, in order of their effectiveness.

a. Connect the shield to earth ground (protective earth) at one 

end where the unit is mounted.

b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, 

usually when the noise source frequency is over 1 MHz.

3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or 

raceway with AC power lines, conductors, feeding motors, 

solenoids, SCR controls, and heaters, etc. The cables should 

be run through metal conduit that is properly grounded. This 

is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long 

and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if 

the installation is near a commercial radio transmitter. Also, 

Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed 

as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, 

transformers, and other noisy components. 

4. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than 

short cable runs.

5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI 

suppression devices such as Ferrite Suppression Cores for 

signal and control cables is effective. The following EMI 

suppression devices (or equivalent) are recommended:

Fair-Rite part number 0443167251 (Red Lion #FCOR0000)

Line Filters for input power cables:

Schaffner # FN2010-1/07 (Red Lion #LFIL0000)

6. To protect relay contacts that control inductive loads and to 

minimize radiated and conducted noise (EMI), some type of 

contact protection network is normally installed across the 

load, the contacts or both. The most effective location is 

across the load.

a. Using a snubber, which is a resistor-capacitor (RC) network or 

metal oxide varistor (MOV) across an AC inductive load is 

very effective at reducing EMI and increasing relay contact 

life.

b. If a DC inductive load (such as a DC relay coil) is controlled 

by a transistor switch, care must be taken not to exceed the 

breakdown voltage of the transistor when the load is
