Grounding System

Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the lightning protector is necessary to protect the
installation from lightning and the build-up of static electricity.
The grounding system must satisfy the following requirements:
The antenna mast, Enterasys Wireless AP, and lightning protector must be connected to the
same earth ground using an equipotential bonding conductor.
The antenna and the mounting structure require a separate earth ground connection. Check
with a certified antenna installer to make sure the antenna is properly grounded.
Ensure that the cable between the antenna and lightning protector is at least 0.9 meters
(3 feet) away from high-voltage or high-current cable.
A good electrical connection must be made to one or more ground rods, using at least a
10 AWG ground wire and noncorrosive hardware.
The grounding system must comply with electrical codes and safety standards that apply in
your locality.
Have a qualified electrician verify that your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
Caution: The antenna mast, Enterasys Wireless AP, and lightning protector must be connected to
the same earth ground (with separate grounds), using an equipotential bonding conductor. A good
electrical connection should be made to one or more ground rods using at least a 10AWG ground
wire and non-corrosive hardware. The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical
Code and safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician to
determine whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
Precaución: el mástil de la antena, Enterasys Wireless AP y el pararrayos deben estar conectados
al mismo punto de tierra (con tierras separadas), usando un conductor equipotencial. Se debe
lograr una buena conexión eléctrica a una o más de las barras de tierra, usando cable para
conexiones a tierra de 10 AWG y equipos inoxidables. El sistema de conexión a tierra debe cumplir
con los estándares de seguridad del Código nacional eléctrico que exista en su país. Siempre debe
consultar con un electricista calificado para determinar si su instalación de exteriores está
conectada a tierra correctamente.
Achtung: Der Antennenmast, Enterasys Wireless AP und der Blitzableiter müssen über eine
Verbindung mit Potenzialausgleich und einheitlichem Bezugspotenzial separat geerdet sein. Eine
sichere elektrische Verbindung zu mindestens einem Erdungsstab ist über ein 10 AWG-
Erdungskabel und korrosionsgeschützte Werkstoffe herzustellen. Das Erdungssystem muss den
landesweit geltenden Sicherheitsstandards für Elektrizität entsprechen. Lassen Sie die
ordnungsgemäße Erdung einer Installation im Freien stets von einem qualifizierten Elektriker
prüfen.
Caution: A properly installed safety grounding system is necessary to protect your Enterasys
Wireless outdoor installation from lightning strikes and static electricity build-up.
Precaución: debe instalar correctamente el sistema de conexión a tierra para proteger su
instalación de exteriores Enterasys Wireless contra rayos y acumulación de electricidad estática.
Achtung: Die Enterasys Wireless-Installation im Freien muss durch ein ordnungsgemäß
installiertes, sicheres Erdungssystem vor Blitzschlag und Statikaufbau geschützt sein.
