Protective Ground
A protective ground must be permanently fitted to IP400 Analog Trunk 16 modules (see page 31).
Connection of this protective ground requires the use of suitable tools and must be connected at
both ends before connection is made to the telecommunications network.
To connect the protectiveground:
1. Attached one end of a #12 AWG or #14 AWG solid insulated cable (sleeve must be green/yellow)
to the Protective Ground Point as shown below.
Ensure that the Ground Post securing screw is fully tightened.
2. Connect, using a fastening that satisfies local regulations, the other end of the wire to the
approved protective ground.
Functional Ground
Within the USA only, for areas with high lightning and/or ESD, we recommend that a functional
ground is fitted to the following trunk modules on IP403, 406 and 412 systems:
