5.6.12 Chassis Ground
For proper operation of the detector, the
FL5000 must be grounded through a wire to
the chassis.
The table shows the terminal block and
connection point for the chassis ground
terminal. Failure to establish a ground
connection can lead to greater susceptibility of
the detector to electric surges, electromagnetic
interference, and ultimately, damage to the
instrument.
