Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Where do I connect the ground wires for the pigtail output circuits on the CTB16D? I do not see anywhere annotated on the board. Are the ground wires from the output circuits simply combined and directly attached to the ground wire for the input power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas lights are not grounded, but if you are going to run somthing with a ground then get a grounding bar to connect all of them togeather.--Daniel L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unreasonable to have a grounded receptacle that isn't really grounded regardless of what you are going to plug into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks to both Dans for the responses. I know most people use the LOR for light control, but my extension cords all have the grounded plugs. Also, I was planning to use one channel on a projector that does have the grounded plug, so was wondering if I had missed something in the instructions for wiring. I will install a grounding bar and attach the pigtail grounds to that and run that to a ground. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 It would be a simple matter to connect them all together with some large wire nuts. TED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
