Reference Ground
Your cord-connected, CC and CCS Series,
power conditioners will meet your power
conditioning requirements without the need for
special grounds. Since the cord-connected
power conditioner is considered as utilization
equipment, a connection to the equipment
grounding conductor that conforms to the U.S.
National Electrical Code and your local
electrical codes through the input cord and plug
is all that is necessary. However, for hardwired
units or if you wish to connect the secondary
side grounded conductor (neutral) of the power
conditioner to a grounding electrode system
(local building steel, water pipes, made
electrodes, etc.) you can do so by connecting a
grounding electrode conductor to the #10-32 x
3/4 inch stud referred to as the Environmental
Reference Ground. This pressed-in stud is
electrically referenced to the secondary side
grounded conductor through an internal
bonding jumper.
The Environmental Reference Ground offers
the ability to achieve a common point to ground
static control devices such as floor mats, table
mats, static-free work benches, or any other
devices that require a separate ground point. To
achieve this ground, remove the ground nut
