EMC Performance 

When  subjected  to  radiated  electromagnetic  energy 
(as  EN61000-4-3)  an  additional  error  can  occur  at

Gland Cable Diameter 

3 to 6.5mm (0.12 to 0.25 inches) 

Note 1 

The maximum allowable total external circuit resistance is calculated from: 
 

R max = 50(Vs 

– 11) 

 

Note 2 

Where  the  supply  voltage  is  higher  than  28  volts 

and

  the  ambient 

temperature  higher  than  25°C,  then  a  minimum  value  of  loop  resistance  is 
required: 
 
 

R min = (Vs 

– 28)(t – 25) 

 
Where Vs = supply voltage (volts) and t = ambient temperature (°C) 
 
E.g. at 36 volts supply and 85°C ambient, the value of RL must be between 
480 ohms and 1200 ohms.
