1) Introduction
To meet its policy concerning EMC, based on the Community directives 2014/30/EU & 2014/35/EU, the
LOREME company takes into account the standards relative to this directives from the very start of the con-
ception of each product.
The set of tests performed on the devices, designed to work in an industrial environment, are made in accor-
dance with IEC 61000-6-4 and IEC 61000-6-2 standards in order to establish the EU declaration of confor-
mity. The devices being in certain typical configurations during the tests, it is impossible to guarantee the re-
sults in every possible configurations. To ensure optimum operation of each device, it would be judicious to
comply with several recommendations of use.
2) Recommendations of use
2.1 ) General remarks
- Comply with the recommendations of assembly indicated in the technical sheet (direction of assembly,
spacing between the devices, ...).
- Comply with the recommendations of use indicated in the technical sheet (temperature range, protection
index).
- Avoid dust and excessive humidity, corrosive gas, considerable sources of heat.
- Avoid disturbed environments and disruptive phenomena or elements.
- If possible, group together the instrumentation devices in a zone separated from the power and relay cir-
cuits.
- Avoid the direct proximity with considerable power distance switches, contactors, relays, thyristor power
groups, ...
- Do not get closer within fifty centimeters of a device with a transmitter (walkie-talkie) of a power of 5 W, be-
cause the latter can create a field with an intensity higher than 10 V/M for a distance fewer than 50 cm.
2.2 ) Power supply
- Comply with the features indicated in the technical sheet (power supply voltage, frequency, allowance of the
values, stability, variations ...).
- It is better that the power supply should come from a system with section switches equipped with fuses for
the instrumentation element and that the power supply line be the most direct possible from the section
switch.
- Avoid using this power supply for the control of relays, of contactors, of electrogates, ...
- If the switching of thyristor statical groups, of engines, of speed variator, ... causes strong interferences on
the power supply circuit, it would be necessary to put an insulation transformer especially intended for instru-
mentation linking the screen to earth.
- It is also important that the installation should have a good earth system and it is better that the voltage in
relation to the neutral should not exceed 1V, and the resistance be inferior to 6 ohms.
- If the installation is near high frequency generators or installations of arc welding, it is better to put suitable
section filters.
2.3 ) Inputs / Outputs
- In harsh conditions, it is advisable to use sheathed and twisted cables whose ground braid will be linked to
the earth at a single point.
- It is advisable to separate the input / output lines from the power supply lines in order to avoid the coupling
phenomena.
- It is also advisable to limit the lengths of data cables as much as possible.
