Grounding the IC3000
Make sure to follow any grounding requirements at your site. The device must be connected to a reliable earth ground.
Install the ground wire in accordance with local electrical safety standards. The ground lug is not supplied with the
device. You can use either a single ring terminal or two single ring terminals.
Note:
The ground lug is not supplied with the device. You can use either a single ring terminal, two single ring terminals,
or a double ring terminal.
Warning:
This equipment needs to be grounded.
For NEC-compliant grounding, use size 16 AWG (1.5mm2) or larger
copper wire and a ring terminal with an inner diameter of 1/4 in. (6 to 7 mm).

To ground the IC3000 to earth ground, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use a standard Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground
screw from the front panel of the device.
Step 2
Use a wire stripping tool to strip the16 AWG (1.5mm2) grounding wire to 0.22 in. (5.56 mm).
Insert the ground wire into the ring terminal lug, and using a crimping tool,
crimp the terminal to the wire.
Step 3
Slide the ground screw through the terminal.
Step 4
Insert the ground screw into the functional ground screw opening on the
front panel.
Attach the ring terminal to the chassis using the screw set aside in step 1.
The graphic to the right shows the proper ground connection points.
Step 5
Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screw and ring terminal to the IC3000 front panel to 3.5
in-lb (0.4 N-m).
Step 6
Attach the other end of the ground wire to a grounded bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN
rail, or a grounded bare rack.
