Install reliable wiring - VdS shunt lock

  1. Always use shielded, twisted cables (e.g. standard telecommunication cable YST-Y).
  2. Reduce the clamping points to a minimum.
  3. Use appropriate terminals for shared junction boxes.
  4. Accidental contact between current-carrying wires and signal-carrying wires is prevented.
  5. Always connect a terminal to open wires to prevent short circuits.
  6. Accidental short circuits are prevented.
  7. Preferably use terminals to connect wires.
  8. Clamps are more reliable than twisting.
  9. Only remove the jacket and insulation from cables as far as necessary.
  10. Fold back unused wires and insulate them with heat-shrink tubing or elastic insulation tape.
  11. Connect the shielding to the earth solder terminals. Then connect the shield to a suitable earth potential on one side, e.g. a busbar or a ring earth electrode.
  12. Label the cables.
  13. This will make maintenance easier at a later stage.
