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.
