I am helping out with the installation of an alarm system and need some info regarding earthing of low voltage transformer lead.
The alarm system has a 3 wire 12 volt AC output power supply as well as a back up 12 volt DC battery which also contributes to the AC supply to the main ciricuit board when the system is under load ( When the alarm is sounding).
The system comes with an Earth wire which needs to be attached on one end to the metal housing cabinet and the other end the instructions says should be grounded to the building electrical installation.
My question is: Can I do this grounding by simply connecting the other end of the grounding wire to the Earth wire of the 12 volt AC power supply?
Thanks
