Grounding
NOTE: Users are responsible that the multinode connection to a proper earth ground is
made by certified and authorized personnel and must conform to all applicable codes and
regulations. The materials required to make a proper earth ground are defined by local
regulations and must be obtained locally to ensure that the correct safety environment is
achieved. The ground wire must be AWG 10 or heavier. The earth ground wire run
should be kept as short as possible.
Attach the earth ground wire (AWG 10 or heavier) to the ring terminal attached to the
multinode's grounding stud (see Figure 3). The ring terminal must be secure against the
unit's metal enclosure. The earth ground ring terminal must be the first connection on the
unit's grounding stud when making additional connections to the grounding stud, (such as
lightning arrestor ground wires).
Sealing Antenna Connections
Once all antennas have been installed, the connections should be sealed to protect them
from the exterior environment. First use a wrap of electrical tape over the antenna
connections. Then use a self-amalgamating polyisobutylene tape which adheres to itself
and forms a single amalgamated rubber molding. Once the tape is in place for several
hours, it forms a shaped rubber molding that is resistant to water and most solvents. Note
that if you need to remove the tape after it has sealed for 30 minutes or more, it must be
cut away.
Installing the multinode/WSG at its location
The assembled multinode, complete with antennas and lightning arrestors (if required), is
now ready to be mounted in its site location. If the multinode is to be wall mounted, it
can be secured to the wall with screws at each corner of the enclosure. When using the
mounting bracket for pole installation, secure the multinode to the bracket using the
screws supplied with the bracket kit.
Connect power cables and Ethernet cables
Conduit must be installed from the multinode ETHERNET connection to the junction
box installed at the multinode site. The power cabling, green/yellow grounding wire and
Ethernet cables from the multinode must be run through conduit to the junction box.
Note that when installation is complete, all cabling must be routed through conduit and
enclosed within the junction box.
Refer to Figure 3 for multinode cable identification.
