6.8. Connecting the Stage to Protective Earth
To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death from electric shock in the case of malfunction or
failure of the system, make sure a protective earth conductor is properly connected.
The A-62x has an M4 threaded hole for connecting the protective earth conductor. This hole is marked with the
symbol for the protective earth ground
. The hole is located on the end plate of the stage near the air inlet.
