WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
A known Protective Earth (ground) connection must be made via one of the following methods:
1) The third wire on the power cord when plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes or ordinances.
2) The external ground lug on the rear of the device.
A Protective Earth (ground) connection is a connection attached to the facility grounding point outside the facility.
A licensed electrical person should be consulted to confirm the Protective Earth (ground) connection.
Do not use an electrical cord with nicks, cuts, or other damage. Do not use the unit with an
extension cord as it will be subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
