2.5 GROUNDING THE SYSTEM
Proper grounding is the single most important
consideration in installing the system. Poor or incor-
rect grounding can lead to unpredictable and erratic
performance problems, damage to system compo-
nents in the event of lightning or power surges and
injury to personnel in extreme cases.
The VR-CM50 uses a STAR GROUNDING SYS-
TEM (below) in which each console is individually
bonded to a common point at the CPP using a #6
insulated wire. Connectivity instructions with
exploded views are continued on the following pages.
