Earth Ground Connections
The designated earth ground terminal (25), must be terminated in a good
earth ground for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to
be effective. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at
most installations:
Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is
recommended) firmly secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is
electrically connected and secured.
AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC, power outlets
only. To test the integrity of the ground terminal, use a three-wire circuit
tester with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL-Listed Ideal Model 61Ð035,
or equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.
