4.2.2 Electrical/Power Supply Cables

Warning:

1. To prevent bodily injury or possible death, shut off the electrical current at the

main switch before tying-in wiring.

2. Make sure that the product is properly grounded when in use.

The following should be considered for electrical wiring and cables:

 Electrical cabling must contain a grounding conductor. All electrical components

and devices must be grounded for complete safety, especially for outdoor

installations. To help prevent electric shock, a power supply used should be

connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet. Electrical cords with three-

prong plugs help to ensure grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the

grounding prong from a cable.

 Many local codes now require outdoor electrical circuits to be protected with GFIs

(Ground Fault Interrupters). Check your local code. GFIs are required in most areas

for outdoor circuits. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the installation of

the type of GFI you decide to use.

 Ensure that power cables are rated for the unit’s voltage and current requirements.

The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the unit’s ratings

defined in this guide and marked on the product.

 To help protect the unit and connected system components from sudden, transient

increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line

conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

 For underground wiring, always bury an underground cable at least 18" (457 mm)

deep. Twenty-four inches (610 mm) is preferable, since cables buried at this depth

are less likely to be disturbed or dug up.

 Always use at least type UF sheathed cables for installations requiring underground

electrical wiring.

 There must be a fuse or breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring

installation.
