Grounding the router
WARNING!
Correctly connecting the router grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
IMPORTANT:
The resistance reading must be smaller than 5 ohms between the chassis and the ground.
Attaching the ring terminal to the grounding cable
The router comes with a ring terminal. No grounding cable is provided with the router. Purchase a
grounding cable yourself. Before grounding the router, attach the provided ring terminal to the
grounding cable.
To attach the ring terminal to the grounding cable:
Cut the grounding cable to the desired length. Use the wire-stripping pliers to peel 5 mm (0.20 in)
1.
of insulation sheath from one end of the grounding cable.
Add a heat-shrink tubing onto the cable, and insert the bare metal part of the grounding cable
2.
into the ring terminal.
Use the needle-nose pliers to secure the metal part of the cable in the ring terminal.
3.
Cover the joint with the heat-shrink tubing, and use a heat gun to shrink the tubing around the
4.
cable.
