: Use Outdoor-rated, UV protected, shielded Cat5e cable for the following:
3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor device and to the port on the surge protector at the building
ingress.
4. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the surge protector and the outdoor device on the Ethernet Port.
:Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premise to prevent water ingress.
Step 11: Ground the Unit
To ensure proper grounding, attach a ground wire of at least 12 AWG stranded to the device at the ground point which is
located at the bottom corner of the device and use the grounding screw provided. It is important to follow the grounding
guidelines below to protect the device against lighting or ESD events:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earth ground point at the
installation site.
2. Remove any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends, loops or coiling the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.
4. A proper earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the surge protector ground wire is connected and not at the
grounding rod.
6. Connect the surge protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a
single common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and tight.
8. Never install a link during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.
Connect the grounding wire, which is supplied with the product package, to the device as shown below:
