The EARTHING® ground rod is 30cm in length and needs to be inserted all the way into the ground outside. A 15 meter long cable is attached to be connected to the connection cable of e.g. the EARTHING® Elite Sleep Mat or the EARTHING® Universal Mat inside.
This EARTHING® ground rod is used if no grounded outlet is available or if you prefer to make direct contact with the earth instead of via a grounded outlet. Especially when using the EARTHING® Elite Sleep Mat to sleep grounded we advise to use the EARTHING® ground rod if possible.
To the EARTHING® ground rod can one earthing product be connected. Using a
splitter, 2 products can be connected to the EARTHING® ground rod. Using 3 splitters connects 3 earthing products, and so on.
The cable is only about 2mm thick, so it can usually pass through a window to the outside, even when the window is closed (usually the weather or insulation strip will give in a bit). Optionally you can make a small slit in the door or window frame. If all of this is not possible and you still want to use the ground pin, a small hole can be drilled in the frame. You can cut the cable, then lead it through the hole and then inside attach them to each other again so that the cable will conduct well.
