2.3.3 Connecting to Ship's Power

After completely wiring the indicator lamp and the data and

antenna cables, you must connect the switchplate to ship's power

as pictured in Figure 2-11.

A grounding wire has been provided to connect your IRD to a

suitable ground and protect the system. Attach the grounding

wire to any suitable screw on the rear panel of the IRD with a

good contact with the IRD chassis. The other end should be

connected to a suitable ground, ideally the Ground connector on

the switchplate (see Figure 2-11).
