Installing the ODU

phn-2510_002v000 (Mar 2012)

5-7

6

Connect the ODU ground cable to the to the grounding system, within 0.3 meters
(1 ft) of the ODU bracket and on the same metal (if necessary, remove paint and
apply anti-oxidant compound first).

Do not attach grounding cables to the ODU mounting bracket bolts, as this
arrangement will not provide full protection.

7

To prevent corrosion and possible loss of ground continuity, weatherproof the
grounding point.
