Appendix F - Ground Wire Attachment

Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters/Receivers

Ensure the ground wire is positioned so that it does not interfere with any of the connectors.

Attach the ground wire to a common earthed ground (see “Attaching a Ground Wire to a Common Earthed Ground” on

previous page).

Continue the installation process (or reapply power to the unit).
