Grounding principles
To connect the surge suppressor to ground, use the shortest and most direct run possible with #8 solid copper
wire (or equivalent). For exterior installations, weatherproof the coax connectors with a suitable mastic or
rubberized tape to prevent water infiltration. (see Figure 4 on page 49).
Warning! All wiring and cables to the Access Point, the surge suppressor and
the outdoor antenna should be routed separately. It is particularly important
that AC wiring or other outside cabling does not come in contact with the
Access Point, antenna cables or interface wiring.
Caution! The power source equipment connected to the Access Point, such as the
Wireless Security Switch or PoE injector, must be provided with a reliable earth ground to
insure safety of the system.
