EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the router and application
system, adversely affect the router in the following ways:
•
A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
•
Inductance coupling.
•
Electromagnetic wave radiation.
•
Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
•
If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE)
to filter interference from the power grid.
•
Keep the router far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
Lightning protection
To protect the router from lightning, perform the following tasks:
•
Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is reliably grounded.
•
Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•
Connect the AC power supply to a power strip with lightning protection to enhance the lightning
protection capability of the power supply.
