When a grounding strip is available at the installation site,
attach one end of the yellow-green grounding cable of the
switch to the grounding terminal on the grounding strip and
fasten the captive nut. Note that the fire main and lightning
rod of a building are not suitable for grounding. The
grounding cable of the switch should be connected to the
grounding system in the equipment room.

Ground the switch through a grounding strip

When there is no grounding strip but earth is available near
the installation location and allows a grounding body to be
buried, hammer an angle iron/steel pipe longer than 0.5 m
(1.64 ft) into the earth. Weld the yellow-green grounding
cable of the switch onto the angle iron/steel pipe, and treat
the joint for corrosion protection.
