What are the cable routing and shielding requirements for electromagnetic flowmeters and RTU devices?

Electromagnetic flowmeter and RTU cable installation requires double-shielded cables, separated routing, and single-point grounding for EMC compliance.

Electromagnetic flowmeter cable shielding is critical for ensuring measurement accuracy and system stability. LGF series electromagnetic flowmeters and EC32/EC60 RTU devices have stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements that demand professional shielding measures.

  • Signal cables must use double-shielded cables with outer braided shield + inner foil shield, shielding effectiveness ≥85%
  • Separate power and signal cable routing with ≥30cm spacing, perpendicular crossings only
  • Single-point grounding of shield layers, ground resistance ≤4Ω, avoid ground loops
  • 4G communication antenna cables use 50Ω coaxial cable, maximum length 10 meters
  • Install isolation transformers when cables cross different potential zones
  • Use metallic conduits or cable trays in high EMI environments

For solar-powered systems, DC cables also require shielding to prevent interference with ultra-low power RTU devices. Proper installation ensures optimal performance of FMCW radar and ultrasonic measurement technologies.
