Proper Grounding And Installation Tips - Monster Power HTPS7000 Owner's Manual

PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

CAUTION - Proper Grounding
Monster PowerSource requires a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC
® ™
outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green "SYSTEM GROUNDED" LED on the front panel
of the Home Theatre Reference PowerSource HTPS 7000 will not light up. In this event, call a qualified 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 $750,000 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE- Proper Power and Protection
To completely deliver Monster Clean Power and protect your equipment from electrical surges, every phone, coaxial
™
cable, and AC power cord in your system must be connected to an appropriate Monster PowerSource outlet.
