For earth grounding requirements in the U.S.A., refer to the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 780 - Standard for the Installation of
Lightning Protection Systems.
Highlights of the standard include:
The ground rod must be UL listed copper-clad steel, solid copper,
hot-dipped galvanized steel, or stainless steel. Minimum requirements:
½ inch (13 mm) diameter and 8 feet (244 cm) in length.
The ground rod is driven into the earth (refer to local codes for proper
depth requirements).
The ground rod is electrically bonded to the chassis with a single length
of un-spliced 6AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91cm) long. Due to the
large concrete foundation, make the neccessary adjustments to accomodate
for earth ground requirements.
Local jurisdictions may impose additional or different requirements
above the NEC and NFPA 780. Consult the local codes and regulations
regarding requirements in your area.
IMPORTANT: Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate
operator performance and the life of its electrical components. Use sufficient
wire size during installation. If you do not ground the operator with a separate
earth ground rod, you risk voiding the Limited Warranty.
The potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, barrier arms,
fences, and gate operators. National Electric Code (NEC) requires a
separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.
