TECHNICAL ADVISORY BULLETIN
Recommended Grounding for TE33-1820 Pole Mount RPN Enclosure
Date: 4/21/2020
Model #: TE33-1820 Remote Power Node Enclosure

Issue

• As there are a few configurations of the TE33-1820 RPN, additional information on grounding is
required beyond what is already provided in the installation manual.

Corrective Action

• Provide detailed grounding instructions with a diagram for the pole mount TE33-1820 RPN
enclosure.
• The grounding specifications and diagram depicted in this TAB are based on recommended
industry best practices. However, site grounding design and construction shall always adhere to
local electrical codes and the internal standards of the company that is responsible for ownership
and operation of equipment.

Warning

• Only qualified personal should install and connect the power components within the Alpha
system.
• An enclosure that is not properly grounded presents an electrical hazard and will likely result in
premature equipment failure.
• A proper grounding system (i.e. ground electrode system) that meets or exceeds the
specifications of the equipment must be designed and installed prior to or in conjunction with
the installation. The ground system must be bonded to the enclosure to ensure a "common" or
"single-point" ground.
