Step 11: Ground the Unit
To ensure proper grounding, use either of the ground points which are situated at the bottom corners of the device and the
grounding screw(#8-32 thread size) provided to attach a ground wire of at least 10 AWG stranded to the device. It is
important that the following ground guidelines are followed during installations to protect the device against lighting or ESD
events:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earthing system point at the
installation.
2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.
4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not at the ground rod.
6. Connect the surge protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a
single common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight.
8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.
Connect the grounding wire, which is supplied with the product package, to the device as shown below:

Step 12: Power ON the Device
Plug in the power cord into a power outlet after having connected the Power Injector and the radio device by using
straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To disconnect power, unplug the RJ45
connector from the PWR LAN-OUT port on the power injector.
Step 13: View LEDs
When the device is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is complete, the LEDs show the device’s
operational state. The LEDs are available at the device’s Ethernet connector inside the enclosure. You can see the LEDs
through the ethernet connector.
The LEDs will not be visible if the RJ45 connector is weatherproofed.
