SETUP AND CONNECTION
(continued)
GROUNDING
The ground serves two purposes. Its primary purpose is to connect to earth ground all, conductive
parts of the system which can be touched, so that a person, with some other part of his or her
body grounded, will not become a conductor of electrical current (get hurt or killed). The
second purpose of the ground is to shield the components of a system from radiating or receiving
electrical noise by shunting the noise to ground. With equipment sensitive to noise, such as
audio, dimming, and microcomputing, this function is very important.
When the Producer 3 console is connected to its power source by the International Power Cord
supplied, the ground connection is made through a third wire. This connection must be made.
If the receptacle being used for the Producer 3 does not have a grounding conductor, your
electrician should install one and properly ground it. If this is not possible, an adapter may be
used, but it MUST be connected to a good earth ground.
