Feature Overview
Ground Connection
There is a grounding stud, which acts as a protective earth terminal (where required).
You can also use it as an ESD ground terminal when servicing the unit.
The grounding stud is located inside the unit, near the bottom right corner of the unit.
Grounding Method
The preferred grounding method, described here, is to connect a ground wire between
the recorder unit and an earth ground source.
•
Prepare an earth ground wire using a proper ground wire and a solderless ring
connector: strip off a 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of the wire, then crimp the
ring connector onto the wire.
•
Connect the ground wire to the recorder ground stud by applying the parts in the
order shown in the illustration below.
•
Connect the other end of the ground wire to an earth ground source.
•
Verify that the earth ground connection complies with your local regulations and codes.
Note:
You can use the grounding stud to ground yourself to the recorder chassis with an anti-
static wrist strap (only if the recorder has been properly grounded as outlined above). This is useful
when you are working inside the recorder and must ensure that anti-static precautions are taken.
