Powering up your IOLAN
The Electric Utility series of IOLAN units have a chassis ground screw. This connection must be
connected to "Equipment Ground" for DC installations or "Safety Ground" for AC installations. A
second “earth ground” connection is provided for secondary grounding. This should only be used in
conjunction with the grounding screw provided on the terminal connector.
