0% RH to 100% RH, noncondensing Power supply You can power the AP by using a power injector. No power injector is provided with the AP. You can use an H3C power injector. See "Connecting the AP to a power injector" for the connection method. -
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 smaller than 5 ohms, and smaller than 10 ohms in an area with fewer than 20 thunderstorm days a year. -
