Negatively Ground Victron System

We are wiring up the system as per the below wiring diagram and would like some assistance with wiring it to be negative 48V,
From our research you connect the positive connection from the battery or we could use the positive from the distributor to a common point which all the Victron casings links to, is this correct?
Then a connection is taken from the central point to a ground stake.

@Daniel - I've read your grounding responses, can you assist with this one?

No, it's the negatives that ground, not the positives.

Suggest you speak to a dealer, they have the knowledge to help you build a safe system that complies with your local regulations.

There may also be reasons to not ground the DC system depending on the set up.
