Ferrites and Option Board Cabling

2.9.2.1. Ferrites
In order to meet certain electrical noise emission limits and to protect the IND780 from external
influences, it is necessary to install a ferrite core on each cable connected to the terminal. Two
types of ferrites are supplied with the basic terminal, and additional ferrites may be supplied with
each of the options.
• The large clamp ferrites can be attached to larger cables such as Ethernet, USB and some PLC
• The large core ferrite is used with the panel mount power cable.
• The small clamp ferrite is to be used on the ground wire of the POWERCELL board. In this case,
To install the large core ferrite on the panel mount power cord, remove the insulation and shielding
from the end of the cable. Before attaching the power connector, route the blue and brown wires
through the center of the core and take two wraps around the outside of the core, each time routing
the cables through again. Note that he striped green and yellow ground wire does not pass through
the core.
When using a clamp type ferrite, a loop can be made in the cable and the ferrite snapped over the
spot where the cable overlaps itself. Either the complete cable or individual wires can be wrapped
through the ferrite.
