Grounding for Indoor/Outdoor Units
ODU Grounding
RADWIN Lightning Protection System uses a Shielded CAT 5e cable to interconnect the Out-
door (ODU) units.
However, this shielding does not provide a good lightning discharge path, since it can not tol-
erate the high Lightning Current surges.
To provide an alternate Lightning Discharge path, the ODU and antenna grounding posts
must be connected to ground point by a 10 AWG short copper wire.
The device must be permanently connected to ground.
PoE Grounding
The PoE uses a three wire AC cable. You must ensure that the wall socket is also correctly
grounded.
