over-current of the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body
from electric shock.
In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following
will instruct you to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to
the grounding bar or connecting to the ground via the power cord. Please connect
the device to ground in the optimum way according to your specific operation
environment.
Note:
For the device without grounding terminal, please refer to the rst way Connecting to
the Ground via the Power Supply only.

Connecting to the Ground via the Power Supply
If the device is installed in the normal environment, the device can be grounded via the
PE (Protecting Earth) cable of the AC power supply as shown in the following figure.
