: Use Outdoor-rated, UV protected, shielded Cat5/Cat5e cable for the following.
3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor equipment and to the port on the surge protector at the
building ingress.
4. Connect a short RJ45 terminated cable between the outdoor equipment and the port on the co-located surge
protector.
5. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the two surge protectors on their remaining ports.
: Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premise to prevent water ingress.
Step 9: Ground the Device
To ensure proper grounding, use the grounding point situated at the bottom corner of the device and the grounding screw
provided to attach a ground wire of at least 12 AWG stranded to the device. It is important that the following grounding
guidelines are followed 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. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight.
6. 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 grounding lug:

Step 10: Power ON the Device
Plug in the power cord into a power outlet after having connected the PoE Injector and the device using Cat5/5e cable. There
is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To disconnect power, unplug the RJ45 connector from the LAN+DC port on the PoE
injector.
Step 11: 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 LED through
the Ethernet connector.
The LEDs will not be visible if the RJ45 connector is weatherproofed.
