Recommended Ground Wiring Practices
Moore Industries recommends the following ground wiring practices:
• Any Moore Industries product in a metal case or housing should be grounded.
• The protective earth conductor must be connected to a system safety earth ground before
making other connections.
• All input signals to, and output signals from, Moore Industries’ products should be wired
using a shielded, twisted pair wiring technique. Shields should be connected to an earth or
safety ground.
• For the best shielding, the shield should be run all the way from the signal source to the
receiving device. (see Note below)
• The maximum length of un-shielded input and output signal wiring should be 2 inches.
Note: Some of Moore Industries’ instruments can be classified as receivers (IPT2, IPX2, etc.)
and some can be classified as transmitters (TRX, TRY, etc.) while some are both a receiver and
a transmitter (SPA2, HIM, etc). Hence, your shield ground connections should be appropriate for
the type of signal line being shielded. The shield should be grounded at the receiver and not at
the signal source.
Contact/Load Protection
The supply powering the contact/load shall be protected by a UL approved branch circuit fuse or
breaker, rated 250 Vac, 10 Amp.
Contact/Load Suppression
The SRM’s CC (Contact Closure) input circuit includes an internal snubbing diode across it’s relay
coil which means there is no need for any external suppression across the input terminals.
The SRM does not provide any surge suppression across its relay contacts. When the instrument
relays are used to switch an inductive load such as an external relay coil, contactor, solenoid
inductive load, large voltage spikes may be created in nearby cable harnesses. When excessive,
these voltage spikes can disrupt the operation of all nearby electronics including this product.
Inductive loads should have suppression devices installed at the load (for external relays this
would be right across the relay coil itself). Usually this is a simple diode for dc circuits. AC
circuits routinely use an R-C snubber. Please follow the external load manufacturer instructions
for their recommended suppression kits.
Caution: If suppression devices are not installed on inductive loads, the SRM unit may be
damaged. This damage could include blowing of replaceable fuses on the relay outputs (see
Maintenance section for fuse replacement).
Please contact Moore Industries’ Customer Service for further technical assistance.
CE Certification-related Guidelines
Installation of any Moore Industries’ products that carry the CE marking must adhere to the
guidelines in the Recommended Ground Wiring Practices section in order to meet the EN 61326
requirements set forth in the applicable EMC directive.
The Low Voltage Directive also applies to the SRM when connecting any of its output relay con-
tacts to voltages greater than 50 vac. In order to comply with EN61010-1 (Low Voltage Directive)
all guidelines in this section must be followed.
