Grounding Your Unit
Grounding Your Unit
To avoid the potential for an electrical shock hazard, you must reliably
connect an earth grounding conductor to the unit.
Note:
The DC units are intended for installation with an isolated DC return (DC-I)
and are to be installed in a Common Bonding Network (CBN) per
GR-1089-CORE.
To ground your unit:
1.
Remove the Phillips screw and the grounding lug from the front panel
of your unit.
2.
Prepare the ground wire (#14 AWG, green), and attach one of its ends
to the unit’s grounding lug using a crimping tool.
3.
Use the Phillips screw to attach the grounding lug and wire assembly to
the font panel of your unit.
4.
Ground the other end of the wire as per your local regulation.
Your unit is now grounded properly.
Note:
For particular installation needs, you can attach your own grounding lug
and wire to the back panel of the unit (to the corresponding holes) instead.
