how to connect fantech hp 190 to radonaway 6ft power cord, do you need to ground green wire somehow?

No, the fan does not have a ground connection. It should not be a problem since the fan is totally enclosed in the plastic housing and there is no way anyone could become a human ground.

Its all plastic, no metal. They never incorporated a ground wire. Yes, there are pros and cons to this, but it is, what it is. I use a polarized 6 ft cord with no ground in cord. Best to get reducer fittings at a plumbing supply too, since it is an unusual size. good luck

If there is no grounding lug in the housing then no. This unit is insulated and does not need grounding.

you can either get an extension cable to extend the small power wire; get an extension for your wire, which isn't supposed to be legal for prolonged/permanent use; or add a plug out there. cheapest is the first alternative, which is to buy the extension for the cable you need

It comes with no wire connection. Hard wiring would probably be best but I took a heavy duty extension cord (8') cut off the female end, used a romax connector and wired it ti the fans terminal strip. Hope that helps.

On the coiled cord is the alligator clip. Pull that straight off and underneath is a "banana" plug. I stuck that into the ground pin hole of an electrical outlet, which should be your house ground.

Yes,i connected mine,you just need one power connector with,6 pin on one end,8 pin on other end,i honestly can tell you that i have not tried running it without the power connector.

Yes, 'hotwire' its on wire in with any ground. Then connect any of the PSU's 12volt rail to power.

No grounding required. These things work with transformers, which is how they accomplish the isolation. I doubt it matters which end of the run you put it on, so I'd put it wherever it's most convenient.You do realize this thing has an 1/8" stereo jack, though, not RCA jacks, right? That might mean you have to put it at the computer end. Or, use a "Boss" brand one with RCA jacks at the stereo end. They're cheaper, too. :)

The unit I ordered and received specifically did not have a power cord. I purchased grounded 12-gauge cable from a local store, cut to length, and wired it. It was fairly simple. Just remember to use a proper gauge of cord that is appropriate to the length needed--to limit resistance and possible overheating/fire. The only other wiring needed was the connection of the thermostat cable that came with my unit.

Nope! I went ahead and took the pig tails from the ac adapter and exposed the bare wire and made my own adapters. Or I supposed you could also do a terminal block and wire it all in that way.

need to get wire (16 ga -18 ga), + 2 spade female connecters, and connecters to power source (fused)

If you are gonna run it wireless the power cord is about 5 foot. Instructions are not that good. Software I have not tried it I run blue iris.

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

i tried it both ways, with the green connected to ground and not connected to ground, the unit worked both ways, i do not believe this green wire is a true ground wire.

Mine didn't come with a place to plug in an adapter, so bought a female jack from radio shack, then I drilled a hole in the side & soldered the pos. & neg. to the battery terminals. I used an old power supply that I had which was 3volts / 1000mA. I believe 2 D cell device needs 3 Volts, but I wasn't sure on the amps, so I tried itanyway. It makes the fan run more powerful than using batteries, so I think it's a bit too much, but I have had it running all night for several nights. Had it since Oct, I think .... it's been to NYC & Hawaii & still running stong! Great fan! Well worth the money.

YES. Your power wire is big enough to use as a ground wire. Use one solid piece of wire for your ground, do NOT splice two wires together.

The fan should be mounted to a well supported box. I see no reasons you could not run a power cord into the box.

The 3rd hole of your outlet has to be grounded & there is a tester included in the pkg you will receive w/ your sheet. If your outlet is not grounded there is a rod included to set outside the window in the ground w/ an extremely long cord on it to connect your sheet. Very clever and well made. If you test your outlet and find that it is grounded you do not have to use the grounding rod. Just plug the cord into the hole in your outlet and your sheet is now grounded.
