Page 16: Grounding The Switch
Grounding the switch WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch. - Page 17 Figure 11 Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis (1) Grounding cable (2) Grounding sign (3) Grounding hole (4) OT terminal (5) Grounding screw Check that the grounding cable has been securely connected to the rear grounding point. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip. Cut the grounding cable as appropriate for connecting to the grounding strip.
