EARTH GROUND ROD INSTALLATION
ADJUSTABLE TIMER
Use 12 gauge ground wire
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from
an electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a
path from which to dissipate its energy safely into the
earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by
lightning could be directed towards the Elite gate operato
r.
Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power of a
direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the
gate operator in most cases.
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from
the gate operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for
your area.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire.
Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should
cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its
integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
