Has a proper connection been installed with respect to the ground/protected earth con-
ductor system?
Has the isolation been removed from varnished and anodized surfaces or have these

Potential compensating
When installing the equipment at separate locations, check the installation of the
potential compensating line.
Cable screen
All covers of plugs are metallic?
All analog and data lines installed screened?
Line screens attached to the screening or the protected earth conductor?
Have the screens been connected by means of large-surface and low-impedance
