Grounding 

In addition to lightning, there are more sources of surge noise. To protect units 
from these noise sources, the units must be grounded. 

*  The lightning arrester has a circuit to remove a surge voltage which damages field devices, so that signals 

may be attenuated. Before installing a lightning arrester, verify that it works properly.
