Power Source

Check neutral-ground (N-G) voltage

Grounding (modem, antenna, radio, and IFL)

Items required for installation

Before connecting the modem power supply to the AC power source, use an AC
outlet tester to verify that the outlet is wired correctly. Wiring problems may include:
• Hot and neutral wires reversed
• Neutral and ground wires reversed
• Open ground (incomplete connection)
• Open neutral (incomplete connection)
If the outlet is wired improperly, notify the customer you are not permitted to
connect the system to a faulty outlet. Do not proceed with installation until a
properly wired outlet is provided.
With a digital multimeter set to AC voltage, measure the voltage between neutral
and ground at the AC power outlet. If the N-G voltage measures 2 VAC or greater,
advise the customer to have an electrician evaluate the electrical power outlet. N-G
voltages may have a negative impact on the performance of electronic equipment.
• Adhere to Hughes grounding requirements.
• Use only approved ground wires, ground blocks, lugs, and clamps.
• For detailed information refer to the appropriate FSB, as listed in Table 2 on
page 18.
