5.7. GROUNDING THE SCALE
Intalogix ™ Technology systems requires two (2) ground rods in the pit for proper
connection.
•
Pit power supply connects to one ground rod, and the weighbridge
connects the other one.
• For accurate operation and protection against damage from lightning strikes,
all of the components of the system must be properly grounded.
Use the following guidelines to correctly ground the system:
•
Use 8 AWG or larger wire, or braided ground straps.
• All ground connections should be two feet (2’) or less, or as conditions warrant
as short as possible.
• The SSCs and PPSs enclosures attach connections to the weighbridge. The
weighbridge is then connected to a pit ground rod.
• The insulated WHITE WIRE from the PPS connects directly to the separate
ground rod, and not to the same rod as the weighbridge.
