Therefore, an important step in the installation process is to properly
connect the controller to an earth ground source, especially if the

unless properly connected to an earth ground source.
To connect an earth ground:
1. Route a #12 (2mm

rod. Make sure the wire contact area is free of dirt and corrosion.
