Grounding the router
CAUTION:
•
Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
When you install and use the router, first ground the router reliably.
•
Ensure a minimum resistance of 5 ohms between the router and the ground.
A grounding cable is provided with the RT-MSR810-SI, RT-MSR810-EI, RT-MSR810-LM-SI, RT-
MSR810-LM-EA, or RT-MSR810-LM-EI router. The other routers each provide only a ring terminal.
Purchase a grounding cable yourself.
Attaching the grounding cable to the ring terminal
1.
Cut the grounding cable to the desired length.
2.
Use the wire-stripping pliers to peel 5 mm (0.20 in) of insulation sheath from one end of the
grounding cable.
3.
Add a heat-shrink tubing on the cable.
4.
Insert the bare metal part of the grounding cable into the ring terminal.
5.
Use the needle-nose pliers to secure the metal part of the cable in the ring terminal.
6.
Cover the joint with the heat-shrink tubing, and use a blow dryer to shrink the tubing around
the cable.
