You should review the proposed cabling entrance/exit points for the site’s building; they
must be practical. You must be able to easily drill the holes for cable access and the
cables should be in a location that allows for easy maintenance.
The LibraPlus has a single shielded CAT5/ 5e cable to connect the LibraPlus 5860 to the
power inserter. It is important not to exceed the maximum allowed length of 100
meters for this cable. This Ethernet cable provides power to the AP.
5.3.2 LibraPlus 5860 Pow er Sources
If your equipment uses AC power, make certain that the power is provided from a
separate, isolated circuit and that you are using a surge protected power source or a
dedicated Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This will aid in protecting your
equipment against power surges, spikes and/or possible lightning damage. Providing
clean, f iltered power will also minimize the possibility of system performance
degradation due to RF interference.
5.4 Grounding
Grounding your equipment properly is one of the most important operations you will
perform during installation. Equipment grounding is required for both safety and
effective operation of the installed lightning protection devices.
You must ensure that your system is grounded in accordance with
your local electrical codes and safety law s. EI ON does not provide any
warranties as to the effectiveness of the grounding concepts and
processes described here, they are for your reference only.
EI ON is not liable for any damage to your equipment or any injuries
to you resulting from improper grounding.
5.4.1 ESD Warning
Before you begin to install your LibraPlus and its components, you should ensure that
your equipment will be protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). This section
lists some guidelines that you should take into account during installation.
• Proper grounding is extremely important. Make certain that you ground
yourself before you begin working with your equipment. Also try to ensure that
your workspace is static-free and make use of an anti-static wrist or leg straps.
If you do not have access to static protection, ground yourself to your
environment by first touching your finger to a metal surface before touching
your equipment.
• All electrical components should be moved or stored in an anti-static bag.
Before you remove a component from its anti-static bag, you should first hold
the bag in one hand while touching a metal surface with the other hand, then
perform the same action with the component.
• Handle electronic components as little as possible and when you do handle
them, hold all parts by their edge.
• Never slide static-sensitive equipment across any type of surface. Friction can
cause static build-up.
