AC Power and Earthing Requirements
The Strata DK40 requires an earth connection back to the main distribution point for proper
operation and safety. Failure to provide this earth may be a safety hazzard or lead to
confusing fault, or operational symptoms and,in extreme cases, system failure. The AC power
cord already contains a conductor for the “protective earth” provided by the commercial
power outlet. This alone is not sufficient. It is also necessary to connect a seperate insulated
conductor between the Frame Ground (FG) terminal on the base KSU and the main
distribution point. (See Figure 2-3). This must be installed in accordance with the general
rules for earthing contained in BS6701 parts 1 & 2.
