9. GROUNDING BEST PRACTICES In the event the equipment where the Transmitter is being mounted on to is not

properly grounded, it is important to effectively earth ground the Transmitter to

ensure safety, prevent static electricity damage and protection from lightning and/or

electrical surges in the area. Ensure the equipment to which the Transmitter is mounted

is properly earth grounded as defined by the National Electrical Code.

• A true earth ground physically consists of a conductive pipe or rod driven into the earth. Rod electrodes shall not be less than 8 feet (2.44 m) in length and consist of the following materials and installed in the following manner:

• Electrodes shall be copper clad or their equivalent and shall be not less than 5/8 inch (15.875 mm) in diameter, or listed non-ferrous rods or their equivalent and not less than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) in diameter.

• The electrode shall be installed such that at least 8 feet (2.44 m) of length is in contact with the soil. It shall be driven to a depth of not less than 8 feet (2.44 m). The electrode shall be driven at an oblique angle not to exceed 45 degrees from vertical or shall be buried in a trench that is at least 2 1/2 feet (.762 m) deep. The upper end of the electrode shall be flush with or below ground level. If ground end and the grounding electrode conductor attachment are above ground, ensure protection against physical damage.

Wireless Transmitter Grounding

• Ground the Transmitter to the equipment using the grounding screw, or connect directly to the grounding rod if mounting the Transmitter to a non-grounded tank. We recommend 12 to 16 AWG for ground cable. The grounding screw connections are located on the outside of the housing and identified by ground symbol.

• Once all wiring and grounding recommendations have been followed it is important to test the ground resistance at the grounding rod to assure a good ground. The most effective grounding method is direct connection to earth ground with minimal impedance. An impedance of less than 5 Ohms recommended.

• For more details on proper grounding electrodes and grounding electrode conductors, consult the National Electrical Code.


TERRE DES MEILLEURES PRATIQUES (Françias) Dans le cas où l'équipement sur lequel le Transmitter est monté n'est pas correctement mis à la terre, il est important de mettre à la terre efficacement le Transmitter pour assurer la sécurité, éviter les dommages d'électricité statique et la protection contre les éclairs et / ou les surtensions électriques. Assurer la citerne à laquelle l'émetteur est monté correctement relié à la terre tel que défini par la Code national de l'électricité.

• Une véritable prise de terre se compose physiquement d'un tuyau conducteur ou tige entraînée dans la terre. Électrodes de Rod ne sont pas moins de 8 pieds (2,44 m) de longueur et se compose des matières suivantes et installé de la manière suivante:

• Les électrodes doivent être en cuivre plaqué ou leur équivalent et ne doit pas être moins de 5/8 de pouce (15,875 mm ) de diamètre, ou listé tiges non - ferreux ou leur équivalent et pas moins de 1/2 pouce (12,7 mm ) de diamètre.

• L'électrode doit être installée de telle sorte que au moins huit pieds (2,44 m) de longueur est en contact avec le sol. Il est conduit à une profondeur d'au moins 8 pieds (2,44 m). L'électrode doit être conduit à un angle oblique de ne pas dépasser 45 degrés de la verticale ou sera enterré dans une tranchée qui est au moins 2 1/2 pieds (0,762 m ) de profondeur. L'extrémité supérieure de l'électrode doit être de niveau avec ou au-dessous du niveau du sol. Si la fin du sol et le conducteur l'attachement de

l'électrode de mise à la terre sont au dessus du sol, assurer une protection contre les dommages physiques.

Transmetteur sans fil à la terre

• Reliez l'émetteur vers le réservoir en utilisant la vis de mise à la terre, ou se connecter directement à la tige de mise à la terre si l'émetteur de montage sur un réservoir non métallique. Nous recommandons 12-16 AWG pour le câble de masse. Les connexions à vis de mise à la terre sont situés à l'extérieur du boîtier et identifiés par le symbole de terre.

• Une fois toutes les recommandations de câblage et de mise à la terre ont été suivies , il est important de tester la résistance du sol à la tige de mise à la terre pour assurer un bon sol. La méthode de mise à la terre la plus efficace est la connexion directe à la terre avec une impédance minimale . Une impédance inférieure à 5 Ohms recommandée.

• Pour plus de détails sur les électrodes de mise à la terre et de mise à la terre des conducteurs d'électrodes , consulter le Code national de l'électricité .
