To provide   the best protection, it is essential that the ground strap on the Surge   Protector be connected to the chassis ground of the protected device. Do   not lengthen the Surge Protector’s ground strap or connect it to a ground   other than chassis ground unless instructed to do so by your supplier’s   technical support.   3.2.2 CONNECTING THE PSP AT A BARRIER (WALL, BUILDING ENTRANCE, ETC.)   CAUTION!   Surge energy may run both directions on the ground strap. To provide   the best protection, it is essential that the ground strap on the Surge   Protector be connected to electrical safety ground. Do not lengthen the   Surge Protector’s ground strap or connect it to a ground not tied to safety   ground unless instructed to do so by your supplier’s technical support.   13   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
