Earth Ground Rod Installation
12 gauge wire
Elite Access Systems is not responsible for improper
installation or failure to comply with all necessary local
building codes.
8 ft
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet of the Elite gate
operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for your local area.
The ground wire
must
be a single, whole piece of wire.
Never
splice two
wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short,
break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an electrical static
discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from which to dissipate its energy safely
into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could be directed
towards the Elite gate operator. Although nothing can absorb the tremendous power
of a direct lightning strike, proper grounding can protect the gate operator in most
cases.
Before digging more than 18" deep, contact local underground utility companies.
Avoid damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines.
