Grounding The Installation
The OS-Gemini Outdoor unit must be properly grounded to protect against power surges. It is
the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These
codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire

electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a
professional installer. See Section 9 “Lightning Protection” for recommended grounding kits.
