Powering the Access Point

Step 2
Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding
lug.
Note
Step 3 Open the anti-corrosion sealant (supplied) and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface called the Ground
Pad, where the ground strap screw holes are located.
Step 4 Connect the grounding lug to the AP grounding screw holes using the supplied two Phillips head screws (M4
x10–mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw with 22 to 24 lb-in (2.5 to 2.7 Nm) of torque.
Step 5 If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding
rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is grounded.
