Proper Grounding And Installation - Monster Power Powerbar 1100 Owner's Manual

PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION

WARNING – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerBar requires a properly grounded 3-wire outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If your AC
™
outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green "GROUND OK" and/or "WIRING OK" LED indicators
on the front panel of the Home Theatre Reference PowerBar PB 1100/PB 2100 will not light up. If you're not sure if your
home's electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
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 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Power and Protection
To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power cable, coaxial cable and phone line
in the system must be connected to an appropriate PowerBar .
™
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
The Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (AC, coax, or phone), audio or video
interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected by the PowerBar .
