lightning-protection scheme utilizing a lightning rod, metal mast, heavy-gage
ground wire, and ground rod to direct damaging current away from the CR1000.

7.5.2 Single-Ended Measurement Reference
Low-level, single-ended voltage measurements are sensitive to ground potential
fluctuations. The grounding scheme in the CR1000 has been designed to eliminate
ground potential fluctuations due to changing return currents from 12V, SW-12,
5V, and C1 – C8 terminals. This is accomplished by utilizing separate signal
