Grounding and protective earth
PMP 450 units must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the user’s responsibility to install
the equipment in accordance with national regulations. In the USA, follow Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 (USA). In Canada, follow Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These
codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. Other regulations
may apply in different countries and therefore it is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be
contracted to a professional installer.
Powering down before servicing
Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing.
Primary disconnect device
The AP or SM unit’s power supply is the primary disconnect device.
External cables
Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to the
outdoor environment.
