Thanks

That is how I do my panels (start at ground on the IPac, daisychaining the switch grounds and ending at the ground on the IPac), except for my 3-sided cocktail, where I did this for each panel individually.

Cheers.

So on your cocktail, do you have a total of 6 wire going to the ground on the IPAC or did you use a euro connector and have all the grounds going to that and then 1 wire going to the IPAC?

Well, it was my first cabinet and the wiring is a bit of a disaster, so not the best example, BUT ... I actually ran the four (I forgot about the coin door and start buttons which are on the front of my cocktail, sonot wired with the CPs)  "left side" grounds to a connector, then to one of the grounds on the IPac. Same thing with the "right side".

Did that make sense ?

Cheers.

I think I understand......I think I am going to wire each CP separately and use a euro connector to attach the ground and run one wire from that to the IPAC.
