Grounding:
To ground the OMNIGND, connect a wire from a properly grounded source
(eg: the B92500 GroundHog from Botron) to either ring terminal or banana
jack of the Ground Hub located on the bottom of the OMNIGND. This will
ground the entire Ground Hub.
When the OMNIGND has been properly grounded, the rest of the open
ports of the Ground Hub may be used for grounding other devices.
It is recommended that a ground wire is used to connect the grounding
block on the bottom of the OMNIGND to the far left monitoring port
(Port H) on the top of the OMNIGND. By factory default this Port H is
named OMNIGND.
continuously verify the built-in Ground Hub to insure that it is properly
