Connecting Station Reference Ground
To connect to the station reference ground, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure you have completed the planning requirements described in Station Reference Ground,
on page 1.5.3 before proceeding.
2. Locate the two safety ground studs for the transmitter on the rear panel (see VX3 to VX6
System Connections on page 1.10.9).
3. Attach a continuous, low impedance copper conductor (minimum 3/4” braid or 1 AWG wire)
between the station reference ground and safety ground stud. Ensure the station reference ground
conductor is at least 3 mm (1/8 in) from the exterior of the transmitter or host cabinet.
4. For information about grounding the lightning protection, see the Lightning Hazards, on page
1.1.xvi. For detailed information about lightning protection, see Nautel’s Recommendations for
Transmitter Site Preparation Manual, available on the USB documentation provided with the
transmitter or online from the Nautel website.
5. Firmly tighten all hardware.
CAUTION! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE CONDUCTOR ATTACHED TO THE STATION
GROUND DOES NOT CONTACT THE TRANSMITTER CHASSIS AT ANY OTHER POINT.
