Grounding the device (functional earth)
The device is grounded via the separate ground screw.
– Terminate the ground conductor using a M4 ring cable lug between the screw head and
the toothed lock washer.
– The wire diameter of the ground conductor is at least 0.5 mm² (North America: AWG20).
– Tighten the grounding screw with a tightening torque of 3 Nm ± 0.5 Nm
(26.55 lb-in ± 4.43 lb-in).
