You ground the SSR120 by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching the grounding
cable to the chassis grounding point located on the rear of the appliance.
To ground the appliance:
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your wrist and connect the other end to
a site ESD point. For more details, see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
2. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before grounding connections
are made.
3. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the appliance is
mounted.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the screw from the grounding point on the rear of the chassis.
5. Place the grounding cable lug attached to the grounding cable over the grounding point.
6. Secure the grounding cable lug to the grounding point with the screw.
