should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with
the other end attached to building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it
to be connected to both ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the
provided ground lug, ensure the bare copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare
