6.0: PIE / Probe Connections
6.1: PIE / Probe Connections (continued)
M5 Circular Connector
To separate the probe and PIE, hold the probe
connector and turn the locking ring only. When the
locking ring is fully unscrewed the connector halves
may be separated. Excessive cable twist may cause
damage.
6.2: Grounding / Shielding
Pin to Pin Connection
It is recommended that the spade terminal be connected
to the same metal work as the transducer. When multiple
Mini Probes are being used, only one connection may
be required. For installations where the PIE module and
the probe are mounted close to each other on common
metalwork, this extra connection may not be required.
The unshielded wires from the transducer should remain
loosely twisted and be contained within (or remain in close
proximity to) the metalwork.
These precautions will greatly improve the grounding /
shielding aspects of the installation.
M5 Circular Connector
No additional screening precautions are required. The
cable screens are continuous through the connector.
For additional advice regarding grounding and shielding,
contact your original supplier.
