Operator's guide

which   is   connected   to   a   local   ground   plate.   All   earth   lines   for 

equipment in the installation, such as the casings of the transformers 
and of the sensor electronics, as well as the signal ground line from the 

sensor, should be connected to this plate.

The best local earth point in many installations is the borehole itself. 

For this to work, the borehole must have a conductive casing and be 
situated   close   (<30   m)   to   the   surface   installation.   In   such   an 

installation   you   need   only   connect   a   cable   (green   wire   in   the 
photograph below) from the local ground plate to the borehole casing.
