Proper Grounding And Installation Tips - Monster Power 3600 Owner's Manual

PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

CAUTION – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC outlet
is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the Green "Ground OK" light on the front panel
of the Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter HTS 3600 will not light up. In this event, call an electrician
™
to fix the problem in your home's wiring.
Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It's very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building
wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the $500,000 Limited
Connected Equipment warranty to be valid. If you're not sure about your home's wiring, have it checked
by a qualified electrician.
Note to CATV Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
specific guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the point of cable entry as practical.
