Installation Guide
- Select Location
Choose a spot with moist, conductive soil away from buried utilities. - Drive the Rod
Use a hammer or ground‑rod driver to drive the spike vertically until only 10–20 cm remains above ground. - Attach Clamp
Position the earth‑clamp over the exposed section and tighten the double nut and washer. - Connect Cable
Insert the earth conductor (12–16 mm) into the clamp and torque to the recommended specification. - Test Resistance
Measure earth resistance—ideally below 10 Ω—and add additional rods in series or parallel if needed.
