PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

CAUTION – Proper Grounding

Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment.

If your AC outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green ”GROUND OK” and/or “WIRING OK”

LED indicators on the front panel of the Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter

™

HTS 5000 MKII will not light up. In this

event, call a qualified electrician to fix the problem in your home’s wiring.

Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It’s very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building

wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the $100,000 Limited

Connected Equipment Warranty to be valid. If you’re not sure about your home’s wiring, have it checked by a

qualified electrician.

Note to CATV Installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides

specific guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the

point of cable entry as practical.

IMPORTANT NOTE

–

Proper Power and Protection

To completely deliver clean power and protect your equipment against electrical surges, every phone, coaxial cable,

or AC power cable in your system must be connected to an appropriate Monster PowerCenter.

IMPORTANT NOTE

–

Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty

The $100,000 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (phone, coax, or AC), or audio

or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected by the

Monster PowerCenter.
