Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit, the PoE injector, and the
surge protector; grounding lugs and cables are provided for this purpose. Consult a
certified electrician to ensure that all grounding and cabling is installed in compliance
with the local electrical code.

unit to the surge protector. Use the supplied weatherproof connector to ensure a tight
seal at the PoE port on the unit.
