Connect Cables to the Unit
Use only the provided Ethernet cable in step 1. Do not shorten this cable as the path
loss is needed. During periods of lightning activity, do not connect or disconnect cables
or otherwise work with the OAP180.
Perform the following steps to attach the Ethernet cable and ground wire:
1. Using the included cable, attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
OAP180. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Connecting the Ethernet Cable and Ground Wire
2.
For extra protection against rain or moisture, apply weatherproofing tape (not
included) around the Ethernet connector.
3. Ground the unit with an appropriate grounding wire (not included) by attaching it
to the grounding screw on the unit. See Figure 8.
Caution!
Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national
electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods, lightning
arrestors, or surge suppressors.
