Does it need to be grounded

I have no idea but theoretically it shouldn't need it. All I know is that it did not work at all for me. I returned it and I had to go back to a regular traditional style antenna.

I don't recall that was a requirement. I returned it because I have a metal roof. I wish I could have used it. Good luck.

I didn't do anything special to ground it. I attached it to the rafters in our attic and never gave grounding a thought.

A grounded outlet is recommended, not necessarily a deicated oultet. I could not use this machine as it did not have 230v

Yes. It has no ground post. All your circuits for this fuse block must be grounded elsewhere.

You can. I did, but you then lose the added protection of having the unit grounded. No big deal for me. Mine works great!

Yes it did need to be grounded ...but a good relatively inexpensive coffee grinder is a good investment for the long run since one will be using these beans for future cleansing...

No, do not attempt to ground this pad to an electrical outlet. This is used as anti static pad for repair of electrical items. People don't ground themselves to electrical outlets

No grounding required. These things work with transformers, which is how they accomplish the isolation. I doubt it matters which end of the run you put it on, so I'd put it wherever it's most convenient. You do realize this thing has an 1/8" stereo jack, though, not RCA jacks, right? That might mean you have to put it at the computer end. Or, use a "Boss" brand one with RCA jacks at the stereo end. They're cheaper, too. :)

I have mine inside the house. If you mount it outside, especially on a metal pole, you would want to ground the pole just to be safe.

Not 100% sure, but I think it would be grounded once you plug it into an oulet or even better a surge protector.

Yes, to ensure safe operation it is extremely important that it has a properly grounded electrical source. It also requires proper ventilation. For our installation, we used a grounded circuit in our garage, and ran the venting pipe from the unit, across the garage ceiling, and out to an exterior wall. The system has performed flawlessly. There was an initial issue with getting all the air out of the pipes and adjusting the water pressure right after installation, but the HVAC company that installed it took care of that problem.

I use it without grounding and no problem. It is a general rule for any electrical equipments tp avoid shock in case an electrical leak to the metal parts.

No. You can use the ground rod on a camping trip, in a strange building with no way of checking the outlets, etc, but if your house outlets are properly grounded, you do not need the grounding rod.

The fuse block does not get grounded. The items like lights, radios, fans or anything hooked to each fuse will be grounded after the voltage has passed through it. Hope this helps.

You would still need to ground it separately. Usually you can find a suitable ground very close to the fuse box.

Yes - it will be grounded to the house ground. But you will have a double neutral bond unless you disconnect the bond at the gen (see the manual) or use neutral switching transfer panel (still works though). Used as standalone not connected to house it is recommended to use a grounding rod even though it is neutral bonded.

Yes the mount plate should be grounded, thru mast, tower or if in or on a tree/fiberglass pole. use a ground wire to ground.

I would not recommend doing so. Removing the grounding prong can result in an electrical hazard.
