ShieldingShielding
Most digital communication ckts require a twisted
shielded pair (TSP) of wires. Shielding usually
consist of a foil shield and a drain wire which is inconsist of a foil shield and a drain wire which is in
continuous contact with the foil. Shielding prevents
cross-talk between other circuits run next to the cable,cross-talk between other circuits run next to the cable,
shields against EMI or RFI noise or interference that
could be induced from the surroundings and helps tocould be induced from the surroundings and helps to
prevent the shielded circuit from emitting noise that
could interfere with other circuits.
FIRE
ShieldingShielding
1. When joints or connections are made, as little of the
cable as possible should be stripped back so that only a
small amount of the wiringwill be unshielded.small amount of the wiringwill be unshielded.
The shield must be continuous throughout the ckt. In2. The shield must be continuous throughout the ckt. In
other words, the drain(shield) wires must be tied together
with a good mechanical bond at every cable joint orwith a good mechanical bond at every cable joint or
splice.
FIRE
Shielding
1. The shield MUST be isolated from ground throughout
the ckt. Usually this is done with electrical tape but it may
be done with heat shrink. The shield is only tied to abe done with heat shrink. The shield is only tied to a
signal ground at one point (usually at the control panel).
This signal ground is sometimes earth ground and
sometimes 0V or system common.sometimes 0V or system common.
. Grounds at more than one point on the shield
can cause ground loops. This may create more
noise than having no shield at all.

  • 179. FIRE ShieldingShielding Most digital communication ckts require a twisted shielded pair (TSP) of wires. Shielding usually consist of a foil shield and a drain wire which is inconsist of a foil shield and a drain wire which is in continuous contact with the foil. Shielding prevents cross-talk between other circuits run next to the cable,cross-talk between other circuits run next to the cable, shields against EMI or RFI noise or interference that could be induced from the surroundings and helps tocould be induced from the surroundings and helps to prevent the shielded circuit from emitting noise that could interfere with other circuits.
  • 180. FIRE ShieldingShielding 1. When joints or connections are made, as little of the cable as possible should be stripped back so that only a small amount of the wiringwill be unshielded.small amount of the wiringwill be unshielded. The shield must be continuous throughout the ckt. In2. The shield must be continuous throughout the ckt. In other words, the drain(shield) wires must be tied together with a good mechanical bond at every cable joint orwith a good mechanical bond at every cable joint or splice.
  • 181. FIRE Shielding 1. The shield MUST be isolated from ground throughout the ckt. Usually this is done with electrical tape but it may be done with heat shrink. The shield is only tied to abe done with heat shrink. The shield is only tied to a signal ground at one point (usually at the control panel). This signal ground is sometimes earth ground and sometimes 0V or system common.sometimes 0V or system common. . Grounds at more than one point on the shield can cause ground loops. This may create more noise than having no shield at all.
