Connecting an Earth Ground Device
Note: In order for the electrical surge components built into your Rain
Dial-R to function properly, the controller must be connected to an earth
ground device, such as a copper-clad ground rod or metal water pipe,
using solid copper wire. This connection is especially important when the
controller is installed in a lightning-prone area.
1. Connect a 12–16 AWG ( 2mm2– 1.3mm2 ) solid-copper wire to the
ground device and route into the controller through an access opening
in the base of the cabinet.
2. Secure the ground wire to the terminal labeled “Earth Ground.”
