2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
All function modules’ good grounding designs are the basis of reliability and stability of
electronic devices. It is the most important guarantee of surge protection and interference
rejection. Therefore, the system must be grounded.
Coaxial cable’s outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
Make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire conduct electricity and are not rusty.
It is prohibited to use any other devices as a part of grounding electric circuit
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less

than 25mm2.
2.2.4 Frame Grounding
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and should avoid circling. The area of the conduction between
grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connect the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper wire.
2.3 Wire’s Connection
The grounding wire conductive screw is located at the right of the rear panel, and the power
switch, fuse, power supply socket are just beside ,whose order goes like this, power switch is
on the left ,power supply socket is on the right and the fuse is just between them.
Connecting the Power Cord:
Connect one end to the power supply socket, and the other end to the AC power.
Connecting Grounding Wire:
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way,
say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the
grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to the NetUP HDMI Encoder 8x, set the power
switch to “OFF” position.
