Connecting a protective earth to Argon drive is the most crucial single connection to be made. Argon has two earthing methods:
- Connect protective earth to J4 PE terminal
- Connect earthing wire directly to the metal case
 | Supplying power to the drive without proper earthing will allow leakage current to raise voltage potential of the device case to hazardous levels. Also ELV circuits (the other ports than J4) may become hazardous without earthing. |
Earthing the J4 PE terminal
This is a mandatory connection. Follow the Argon wiring instructions.
