Grounding the LX40

Sierra Wireless strongly recommends that you always ground the chassis using the
grounding point shown in
For DC installations (with a fixed "system" ground reference), Sierra Wireless
recommends grounding the LX40 chassis to this system ground reference.
To ensure a good grounding reference, connect one end of a short 18 AWG or larger
gauge wire with a ring terminal connector to the ground terminal on the LX40 and connect
the other end to your main grounding point.
The ground terminal comes with an M2.5 × 6 mm screw. You can use a longer M2.5 screw
if the terminal connector on your ground wire requires one.
Note: Do not overtighten the grounding screw. Tighten to a maximum torque of 0.4 kg/cm.
