one or more instruments in the system. This ensures a common

(safety) grounding screw using a toothed grounding lug. The
wire insulation must be green with a yellow stripe or non-
insulated (bare wire).
2. Attach the opposite end of the wire to permanent earth ground
earth (or to the ground of one or more instruments in the
system) using toothed washers or a toothed lug.
