An earth ground is provided through the cable shields and chassis of the imager. Ground Loops Ground loops (signal degradation due to different ground potentials in communicating devices) can be eliminated or minimized by ensuring that both the host, imager, and their power supplies are connected to a common earth ground. Vision HAWK Smart Camera Guide 2-17 Ground and Shield Considerations round and Shield Considerations Proper grounding is necessary for operator safety, noise reduction, and the protection of equipment from voltage transients.
Buildings, including any steelwork, all circuits, and all junction boxes must be grounded directly to an earth ground in compliance with local and national electrical codes. 2 Components System Vision HAWK
