Precautions

Before installing an Altitude 4760 Series Access Point verify the following grounding and
lightning protection notes:
The installation professional should be familiar with all grounding requirements and
●
regional codes and ensure that the Access Point and mounting asset are properly
grounded. The grounding cable for an Altitude 4760 Series Access Point must be at a
minimum a #10 gauge wire cross section. The cable can be attached to the unit using one
of the following methods:
Loosen the grounding screw, insert the grounding cable into the hole below it, and
●
tighten the screw.
Loosen the grounding screw, wind the grounding cable around it, and tighten the
●
screw.
Attach a ring lug to the grounding cable and secure it to the unit using the grounding
●
screw.
To properly attach the grounding cable to the Access Point, refer to
●
Access Point Grounding Screw" on page
For Ethernet and lightning protection, it is recommended that a commercially available
●
off-the-shelf Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) be used on all shielded CAT5E Ethernet
connections. The LPU should be rated for outdoor use.
