  Make sure you use the power cable with a PE 
terminal but not the cables with only L and N 
wires. 
  It is strictly prohibited to connect the N wire of 
the power cable to the protection ground of 
any other communications device, and the L 
and N wires must be connected correctly.  
In a plains area, the protection angle of the 
lightning rod should be less than 45 degrees. In 
a mountainous area or lightning intensified 
area, the protection angle should be less than 
30 degrees. The lightning protection ground 
(for example, the ground of the lightning rod) 
and the protection ground of the equipment 
room should be connected to the same 
earthing conductor. 
 
  The antenna support is ready and in 
accordance with the design requirement.  
  A feeder lightning rod is already installed and 
grounded according to the design requirement.  
Outdoor 
lightning 
arresters
 
For outdoor installation, a power lightning 
arrester, a feeder lightning arrester and a 
network port lightning arrester are required. 
The power supply lightning arrester and feeder 
lightning arrester are located close to the AP 
while the port lightning protector is installed 
close to the peer device where the network 
cable enters the equipment room, just outside 
the equipment room.
 
For outdoor installation, use a shielded network 
cable and ensure that the interconnected 
devices are well grounded. 
 
 
After you have completed the installation preparations, continue with AP installation in 
Chapter 3 Installing the  on page 15.
