NOTICE
Potential damage to the device or other property, maintenance
procedures, and “refer to manual” instructions.
Lifting instructions, low clearances, slipping/tripping hazards,
minor corrosive dangers.Also used when defining personal
protective equipment (gloves, dust masks, etc.)
Personal injury risk: machinery hazards around guarded
equipment, moving parts, crush/pinch hazards, flying debris, and
arc flash hazards.
The most dangerous or potentially lethal hazards: unguarded
equipment, confined space entrances, and lockout labels.
Caution: possibility of electric shock
Caution: hot surface

EMC Considerations
Your Honeywell Analytics continuous gas monitor
has been designed to comply with applicable
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards
at the time of manufacture. The design includes
filtering, shielding and bypassing techniques. At
the time of certification, simulated customer Input/
Output (I/O) schemes were tested.
All methods used in your equipment for emission
suppression and reduction of susceptibility are
interactive.Modificationsto themonitorcouldresult
in increased emissions and higher vulnerability to
other radiated fields.
Followingtheguidelinesinthis EMCConsiderations
section will ensure your monitor maintains the
highest degree of EMC integrity. The guidelines
listed apply only to I/O emissions and do not apply
to A.C. and D.C.monitor power connections.
Cabling
At a very minimum, all cables should include a
braided shield. Ideal results have been obtained
with twisted pair cabling which has a foil shield
surrounding each pair plus foil and 90% braid
shielding around the bundle. In addition, ensure
local electrical code requirements are met.
The following cable parameters must be
considered:
Braid Must have a minimum 90%
coverage
Foil When used with braid, provides
100% coverage
Do not use foil alone.It has a
tendency to break.
Twisted Pair Provides for cancelling of
magnetic fields
Stranded Pair Provides the greatest surface
area
Shield
Termination Continuation of the shield to the
cabinet earth ground is most
important.
For discrete wire terminations,
pigtails to the cabinet (connector)
ground should be extremely short
(absolutely no greater than three
inches).
For multiconductor connector
terminations, only 360° shielded
shells should be used.
Note:
Honeywell Analytics product testing uses >90%
braid with foil (around the bundle); twisted
pair; stranded 24 AWG (minimum wiring for all
qualication and certication testing.)

VertexTM 72-Point Continuous Monitor
Vertex Technical Handbook iii
Connectors
All qualification and certification of Honeywell
Analytics products were achieved with high quality
connectors, providing 360° shield coverage.These
connectors generally had metal shells.
Failure to properly secure the connector to the
equipment will result in high emission levels.
Also, poorly constructed or improperly assembled
connectors can be a high source of radiated noise
and provide a path for external signals into the
monitor.
