CONNECTIONS Grounding and Isolation The VSI-Pro Max has an isolated internal signal/power ground from the case or chassis ground. Therefore maintain- ing this isolation will insure proper surge and lightning suppression when the chassis grounded properly. Video Surge / Lightning Protection The VSI-Pro Max has an internal Gas Discharge Surge Suppressor on the video input. This enables high input surges to be suppressed so not to damage the internal circuitry of the VSI-Pro Max. Voltage spikes bet
