Earth Clamp
(G8760)
The most effective place for an earth system is in continuously damp soil, see
illustration a. For dry areas with poor earthing conditions, see illustration b.
Install the earth system at least 10m (33ft) from any power supply earth peg,
underground telephone or power cable. Drive one 2m (6ft) earth stake into the
ground, until only 5cm (2") remain above the ground.
To attach the earth cable:
1.
Using double insulated cable, remove 5cm (2") of plastic coating from one end
of the cable wire.
2.
Connect the earth wire to the energizer.
a.
Bend the end of the wire to form a loop.
b.
Unscrew the green (EARTH) terminal on the energizer and insert the loop
of wire between the washers.
c.
Screw the terminal closed, ensuring the wire is firmly clamped.
3.
Lay out the cable down walls and out to the earth stake.
4.
Attach the cable to the earth stake by removing 10cm (4") of insulation from
the cable at the earth stake, then clamp the exposed wire to the stake using an
earth clamp.
5.
Tighten the clamp.
Note:
Poor grounding can cause interference on telephone lines, radios and
televisions. This can be recognised by a clicking sound on telephones.
