Page 8: Grounding And Lightning Protection
Grounding and lightning protection The AP must be reliably grounded. Make sure the grounding points of the grounding conductor of the AP, lightning arresters, PE wire of the power cord, and antenna support are separate from each other, make good contact, and are securely connected and treated with corrosion protection. Ground resistance The ground resistance is typically required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area with less than 20 thunderstorm days a year. -

Page 12: Connecting The Grounding Cable
Connecting the grounding cable CAUTION: • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. • Before connecting the AP to the power source, make sure the grounding cable is correctly connected. No grounding cable is provided with the AP. Prepare one yourself. To connect the grounding cable to the AP: Attach a ring terminal to the grounding cable. -
Page 13: Connecting An Ethernet Cable
IMPORTANT: When you apply weatherproof tape to a cable connection, follow these restrictions and guidelines: • Make sure you attach the adhesive side of the tape to the cable connector. • Pull the tape as needed for overlap. • Start wrapping at the top of the connector, and overlap the tape to half-width. Avoid creases or wrinkles and press the tape against the connection so that there are no gaps. -
Page 14: Connecting An Optical Fiber
If you route the cable outdoors by using PVC pipes, cut an opening at the bottom of the PVC pipes every 6 m (19.69 ft) to avoid water accumulation. If you route the cable outdoors without using cable casings, create drip loops on the cable ... - Page 15 Disassemble the liquid tight adapter (assembled by a weatherproof connector, a sealing nut, and a rubber seal) and detach the rubber seal, feed the optical fiber through the connector, and then attach the rubber seal to the cable. Figure2-8 Feeding the optical fiber through the connector Insert the rubber seal into the weatherproof connector.
