WaveRED, ControlWave REDIO & ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack
ControlWave Chassis are provided with a Ground Lug that accommodates up to a #4 AWG
wire size. A ground wire must be run between the Chassis Ground Lug and a known good
Earth Ground. The cases of the various ControlWave Modules are connected to Chassis
