3e–525C–2 Wireless Access Point

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

29000155-001 A

Earth Ground Connection

Attach the earth ground ring terminal to the 3e–525C–2's grounding

stud. Make sure the ring terminal is against the unit's metal case. The

earth ground ring terminal should be the first connection on the unit's

grounding stud.

NOTE

: The cable used to connect to a proper earth ground must be

AWG 10 or heavier. This cable should be kept as short as possible

Lighnting Arrestor Installation

To install the lightning arrestor, attach one end of the lightning ar-

restor to the 3e–525C–2's antenna connector. Attach the antenna (or the

antenna cable) to the other end of the lightning arrestor.

��

��
��

��

��
��

Attach the ring terminal from the Lightning Arrestors’ ground cable

to the grounding stud on the 3e–525C–2 unit. The lightning arrestor's

ring terminal should be attached to the unit after the earth ground ring

terminal is attached.

Perform this same procedure for every antenna installed on the unit.
It is recommended that this Outdoor Protection Kit be replaced every

three years. If the unit is operated in an area subject to intense lightning

activity, it is recommended that the Outdoor Protection Kit be replaced

every year.
