(2) Place the device on the workbench to ensure adequate airflow and good heat dissipation.
Caution
The workbench on which the device is mounted and operated must not be moved.
3.6 Connecting the Ground Cable of the Device
The router has a grounding lug for grounding protection. Connect the grounding lug of the device to the
grounding terminal of the cabinet with a ground cable. Then connect the grounding terminal to the grounding
bar in the equipment room.
Precautions:
⚫ The cross-sectional area of the ground cable should be determined according to the possible maximum
current. Cables with good conductor should be used.
⚫ Do not use bare wires.
⚫ The resistance between the chassis and ground should be less than 1 ohm.
Caution
The cross-sectional area of the protection ground cable should be at least 2.5 mm
2
(12 AWG).
3.7 Connecting the Power Cord
RG-EG305GH-P-E and RG-EG310GH-P-E routers adopt the adapter for power supply.
The power cord of the device has three cores. You are advised to use a single-phase three-core power socket
or a multi-function power socket with a neutral point connector. The neutral point of the power supply must be
well grounded in the building. In general, the power supply neutral point of the building has been buried in the
ground during the cabling. Users need to confirm whether the power supply of the building has been properly
grounded.
Please connect the power cord based on the following steps:
(1) Insert the ring of the adapter DC connector into the DC input plug of the device. Plug the end of the power
cord to the power socket on the adapter and the other end into the AC power socket. For those devices
without the adapter power supply, plug the end of the power cord into the power socket on the rear panel of
the device and the other end of the power cord into the AC power socket.
(2) Please check the status of system LED on the front panel of the device. If the LED is on, it means that the
power cord is connected correctly. Otherwise, please check the power cord connection.
Caution
● Please use the power supply adapter and power cord delivered with the device to prevent accidents.
● The maintenance personnel should check whether the AC socket is reliably connected to the protection
ground of the building. If not, the maintenance personnel should use a protection ground wire to connect
the protection ground terminal of the AC socket to the protection ground of the building.
● During the device installation, connect the grounding cable first and disconnect it last.
● The power socket should be installed in an easily operable position near the device.
