Connect to Ground

Connecting the device to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and over-current of
the device, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock.
In different environments, the device may be grounded differently. The following will instruct you
to connect the device to the ground in two ways, connecting to the ground via the power supply or
connecting to the ground via the grounding terminal. Please connect the device to ground in the
optimum way according to your specific operation environment.
Note:
For the device without grounding terminal, please refer to the first way Connecting to the
Ground via the Power Supply only.
