Grounding Communication Cable Shield
When terminating the communication cable in the metal enclosure, ensure that the shield is insulated and
connected to the ground lug. Keyscan suggests Alpha PVC 10516 - #16 clear tubing or a comparable tubing to
insulate the shield. Do not connect the shield to GND on a communication terminal block.
Ground Lugs
The metal enclosure includes 1 ground lug pre-mounted near the top and 1 spare ground lug, which can be
mounted to one of the available ground lug studs. You can re-locate the ground lug inside the metal enclosure
to minimize the length of shield used.
Note
Keep all shield wires and cables away from the control board.
