    Earth grounding is recommended when sensors are installed at distances greater than 10 meters (33 feet) from the Aspen 10. This helps to stabilize the ground potential of the Aspen 10 and divert electrical transients away from its electronics. For this purpose, Campbell Scientific recommends using 14 AWG wire.
