WARNING!
Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not
connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.
Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the
earth ground
If the installation site has no grounding strips, but earth ground is available, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or
longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth ground to serve as a grounding conductor.
Weld the yellow-green grounding cable to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion
protection.
