I just had a thought. Perhaps they say to only mount it in a metal enclosure due to the weight of it. It isn't a light piece of electrical equipment, and if you put it in a 4x4 plastic box it might bend it a bit. I'll keep pestering Honeywell to see if I can get a direct answer from them.

Thank you for the reply. Yea, if I was using a metal enclosure I would definitely ground it, but I'm using a plastic box and have run the ground wire (coming into the enclosure from the main power) to a barrier strip where I've connected devices that need to be grounded (pumps). I wonder then...
