5.1 Grounding the Device
The device must be permanently connected to earth (ground), using an equipment-earthing
conductor.
Protective Earthing
The equipment is classified as Class I EN60950 and UL60950 and must be
earthed at all times. The device must be permanently connected to the earth
using the screw provided on the rear panel. Use 14-16 AWG wire and a proper
ring terminal for the earthing.
For Finland: "Laite on liltettava suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun
pistorasiaan."
For Norway: "Apparatet rna tilkoples jordet stikkontakt."
For Sweden: "Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag."
The procedure below describes how to ground the device.
 To ground the device:
1. Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis
earthing screw (located on the rear panel), using the supplied washer.
2. Connect the other end of the strap to a protective earthing. This should be in
accordance with the regulations enforced in the country of installation.
