The MPM has an M6 sized external grounding screw for protective earth grounding.
Insulated 10AWG wiring is needed to connect this grounding screw to the mounting plate,
along with the use of M6 sized ring connectors for 10AWG wire. The connection to the
mounting plate should be made using a lock washer or lock nut to ensure that the connection
cannot loosen from vibration. If this mounting plate is not directly connected to earth ground
through the machinery then the mounting plate will also need to be grounded to earth with
the use of 10AWG wire and ring connectors.
The location of the grounding screw for the MPM is as follows:

The connector shroud must be installed at all times once connectors are in place to prevent
slurry/mud etc getting onto the connector threads AND to meet the standards certified
against for Hazardous Location operation.
