IMPORTANT!    The BROCK® Ground Rod is for the QUANTUM® computer and should not be expected to provide grounding for the remaining equipment connected to the public utility located on the farm or elevator premises.

The solid # 4 wire that connects to the Ground Rod must be terminated directly to the QUANTUM® Control Panel back plate at the bottom of the Slave Board. Dryers which are grounded via connection on the Dryer frame, may, or eventually may, have Moisture Sensor floating problems.

Bonding of the back plates must be done with #6 or #8 solid copper wire, not stranded conductor. This Bonding must be between the Control and Power Panel sections and then to the back plates of any additional control cabinetry which may be on a tower-type Dryer.
