Always best to ground any type of electrical switch, etc. Probably will work, but suggest you contact Leviton.

Yes, this unit will only work when it's grounded. Always follow the manufactures instructions when wiring.

This item, completely made of plastic, is not made to be grounded. It is for use in DC circuits like automobiles, boats, etc. That is why only the positive wire is distributed through it.

Yes - it will be grounded to the house ground. But you will have a double neutral bond unless you disconnect the bond at the gen (see the manual) or use neutral switching transfer panel (still works though).Used as standalone not connected to house it is recommended to use a grounding rod even though it is neutral bonded.

You do not need a ground connection. Just a hot line and a neutral connection.

I believe this unit has no ground terminal but is hooked directly to the batteries which should have a negative ground. Since the panels are also grounded, it all should be fine.

No, do not attempt to ground this pad to an electrical outlet. This is used as anti static pad for repair of electrical items. People don't ground themselves to electrical outlets

I am not an electrician so what I would do is Google it. Check out this site... http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/why_grounding.html

fully extended it is grounded like looking at picture now, when depressed it is open.and I would just run a relay with it not much power needed for that. Hope this helps

I think yo have to connect the extra wire. Red one according to the pic. But not sure if it has to be live or ground

Grounding in not necessary. If no dedicated phone inputs, just connect to any vacant input (game, aux, etc)

You still need to run a ground. This product just taps into an existing hot (positive +) fuse location on your fuse block. Your red positive hot wire will connect to this product.

I called tech support when I first got it and it can be done but there would be a grounding issue. It's designed as portable.

The one I recently purchased would not. It has the ground prong on it as well.

I think that by code, it is required to be grounded in a new installation. There may be an exception when installed into existing wiring, depending upon your local regulation. This unit does require a neutral (white usually) wire in the box. Many times the missing neutral is the problem...not the missing ground. It may be possible to ground it to the box.

You can use it without grounding but it's neither wise nor legal. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every TV antenna installation be grounded. You town/city/county may also have a requirement. But that's not the only reason - it's common sense. Because the antenna is usually the highest point on the house, it is highly susceptible to lightning strikes. TYhe ungrounded system will take the massive charge right in your coax, frying your system and possible starting a fire.

We haven't been able to install this yet, so I can't comment. The house we are temporarily in does not have grounded switches.

Yes it did need to be grounded ...but a good relatively inexpensive coffee grinder is a good investment for the long run since one will be using these beans for future cleansing...
