Does this require grounding? If yes, how is the grounding connected?

No. It wires like any other switch or dimmer. It interrupts the hot, and the neutral and ground (if any) remain untouched within the box.

If you have any questions about Intermatic products you can go on their web site and click on their help desk. It has been a couple of years since I installed 4 of these 15 minute twist timers, but I can't remember if they needed to be grounded. I hope this helps. Jerry W., Moreno Valley, Ca.

I haven't purchased this yet, but if there is no ground wire connection on the unit, then you just connect the ground wires from the incoming cable and outgoing cable together in a plastic box. If you do use a metal box, then you should run a pigtail ground wire to a grounding screw in the box to ground the box, but it would be easier to just stick with a plastic box so you don't have to worry about grounding the box.

It's a three prong plug, so if concerned about safety; yes it needs a ground (three prong outlet). As far as dedicated circuit, its powerful, but not like an big industrial motor, so dedicated circuit is not needed.

You may not need it, look at the directions and it specifically states which models need the ground wire, only a couple of them do. The other ones do not. To find out, just hook it up without the ground wire and see if it works :)

There is no separate grounding connection. The ground is integrated into the RCA cable. My local dealer has faith that this setup works fine, though I would prefer a separate ground.

Grounding in not necessary. If no dedicated phone inputs, just connect to any vacant input (game, aux, etc)

There is no connection fora ground I would think you could run a cable from the frame to a chunk of re-bar in the ground.I have only had to use it for emergency's and did not have time to worry about a ground.

This is a power pick-up one line only, solution. Any item needing grounding can be grounded nearby it's location if you do not want to run two wires to the fuse block.. If its for a phone you may want to find a fuse location that is powered even when engine is off. Good Luck!

the unit is hardwired. you should know what you are doing or hire an electrician. you can connect a power cord and connect it to a plug, I would always recommend using a three wire setup that includes a ground.

You don't need to ground it if you are planning on using it indoors. However, it should be grounded if used outside.

It is grounded through the studs - no ground wire. It will only work when studs are mounted!

I am not an electrician so what I would do is Google it. Check out this site... http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/why_grounding.html

My previous set up was 3 wires. 2 hot and a ground. I did a few searches and was told that this unit did not need the ground wire so I left it disconnected as there is no place to connect it. The unit has been working fine for 8+ months now.

I believe this unit has no ground terminal but is hooked directly to the batteries which should have a negative ground. Since the panels are also grounded, it all should be fine.

You don't ground this. Your accessory items, you will have to ground separately.

Hi, it counts on your wiring. If the box is ground and you use the screw in the loop then yes it will be ground. If the box is not then of course a ground will not just appear from no where.

It's to ground it. .. if needed. I've run these in two different cars to get rid if engine noise and never needed to connect the brown/ground wires. If you still have noise after you connect the rca's, then you can try connect the grounds.
