Grounding Information
All equipment related to the load frame should be connected to the same electrical circuit if possible. If the
computer, monitor, or other peripherals are connected to a different electrical circuit (for example, the load
frame is connected to 208 VAC power but the computer and monitor are connected to 120 VAC power), make
sure there is no voltage difference between the two different grounds. If voltage is present, damage could
occur to the electronics in the machine, the computer and monitor, or the peripherals being used. This must
be resolved before turning on the equipment.
Where electrical power is of poor quality (noise spikes, poorly regulated, and so forth) or the ground system
in the facility contains electrical noise, attach a 4 AWG wire directly to a good earth ground point, such as a
2 m (6 ft) copper grounding rod driven at least 2 m (6 ft) into the ground. Grounding must conform to local
electrical codes.
