Tech Note 108: Installation of Accelerometer Extension Cables Last Updated: 05/10/2017 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dedicated rigid conduit is recommended in all installations for mechanical and noise protection. The conduit should be metal, and in direct contact with each segment and/or junctions boxes. With this type of installation, a single ground point can be established. The final run to the sensor can be metal flexible conduit. Properly secure the extension cable at the sensor so that there is no pull pressure on the sensor. The extension cable shield is “floating” at the sensor end. Be sure to land the cable shield to the sensor common at the opposite end to prevent noise or erratic readings. A optional BNC connector is available for portable data collection. When the cable is not in use, the provided BNC dust cap must be on to prevent the BNC from being harmed. Wiring Guide:
