Grounding the Access Point
The access point must be grounded before connecting power.
Warning
This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire
before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an
electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 366
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these
instructions to properly ground the access point:
Step 1 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the
grounding lug.
Step 2 use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the
supplied grounding lug.
Note The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
Step 3 Open the electrical joint compound (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal
surface where the ground strap screw holes are located (see
Figure 5).
Step 4 Connect the grounding lug to the access point grounding screw holes (see Figure 5) using the
supplied two Phillips head screws (M4 x 10 mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding
screw to 22 to 24 in. lbs (2.49 to 2.71 Nm).
Step 5 If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground,
such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is
grounded.
