8. ome attention must be given to anticipated noise sources and to the coupling of these noise sources to the interconnecting wiring Noise signals may be coupled into the wiring between the pickup coil the PA1001A and the electronic measuring systems In general utilizing a shielded twisted pair for the interconnection greatly reduces this coupling The shield should be grounded on both ends of the cable However even with proper interconnecting cabling cross talk with other signal lines or power lines may still occur and should be avoided Physical isolation of the wiring reduces the chance of potential problems The pickup coil should not be located more than 100 feet from the PA1001A preamplifier It is recommended that the PA1001A be installed on or near the pickup coil to assure optimum performance INSTALLATION The Model PA1001A should be placed in a convenient location that maintains access to the unit should repairs or readjustment is required Connections to the terminal block should be carefully dressed to avoid having bare wires extend pass the screw clamp on the terminal block This is particularly important when the PC card is mounted within an explosion proof enclosure Wires should be neatly dressed near bottom of enclosure to prevent problems when cover is installed For compliance with EMI RFI requirements the pre amplifier must be installed in a metal enclosure such as a suitable NEMA 4 e g GUAC junction box The enc
