space and packaging) are properly equalized. Do not touch any conducting parts.
Cables
• Use shielded cables with copper braiding or tinned copper braiding. This reduces elec-
tromagnetic interference and increases signal quality. Measurement errors, data trans-
mission errors and interference due to excessive voltage can be prevented.
• Maintain spacing between control, signal and data lines and the power supply lines.
• Observe permissible temperature range of connecting cables.
• Use appropriate strain relief.
2.3 Mechanical Safety
