Grounding Setup:
This appliance should be grounded to minimize the
possibility of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding type plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes
and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 3.
A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter
shown (Figure 4) may be used to connect this plug
to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 3, if a
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualied electrician.
(Temporary adapter not included.)
Grounding Installation:
The green-colored ground terminal (screw, and the
like) extending from the adapter must be fastened to
a permanent ground such as a grounded outlet box.
1. Plug temporary adapter into two-pole outlet
(Figure 5).
2. Insert screw through rigid ear on temporary
adapter and into grounded outlet box (Figure 6).
Power Strip Setup
1. If using a powerstrip, the ground connector must
be plugged into a receptacle controlled by a GFI
(ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker.
2. Make sure to place the power strip in a dry and
safe area away from the aquarium in order to
avoid moisture.
3. Place power strip in a secure and stable area
so that it cannot fall into the aquarium or sump.
4. Make sure all receptacles are protected from
water: splash, spilling and evaporation.
