Power Surge Protection and Grounding

EdgeMarc units are designed with a robust internal surge protection
system. For surge protection to function during all events, the EdgeMarc
supplemental ground (the AC power cord) must be connected with a low
impedance conductor directly to the same ground point as the service
providers' equipment.
Caution
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an
electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Caution
Under certain conditions, if the EdgeMarc is not properly earth-grounded
using the AC power cord, you may experience various issues including:
electrostatic discharge problems, random EdgeMarc reboots, or damage to
the EdgeMarc unit.
Note
The EdgeMarc 250AE appliance has an internal power supply with a
grounded power cord that must be connected to a properly grounded
power outlet.

Grounding the EdgeMarc

To properly ground the EdgeMarc 250AE appliance, attach the proper
grounding strap to the device AC power cord with an appropriate
destination earth ground pathway. Any ground source that is adequate for
power circuits or lightning protection is sufficient for protection against
static electricity. This system provides an electrically conductive pathway
