Power Source
Before connecting the modem power supply to the AC power source, use an AC
outlet tester to verify that the outlet is wired correctly. Wiring problems may include:
•
Hot and neutral wires reversed
•
Neutral and ground wires reversed
•
Open ground (incomplete connection)
•
Open neutral (incomplete connection)
If the outlet is wired improperly, notify the customer you are not permitted to
connect the system to a faulty outlet. Do not proceed with installation until a
properly wired outlet is provided.
Check neutral-ground (N-G) voltage
With a digital multimeter set to AC voltage, measure the voltage between neutral
and ground at the AC power outlet. If the N-G voltage measures 2 VAC or greater,
advise the customer to have an electrician evaluate the electrical power outlet. N-G
voltages may have a negative impact on the performance of electronic equipment.
Grounding (modem, antenna, radio, and IFL)
•
Adhere to Hughes grounding requirements.
•
Use only approved ground wires, ground blocks, lugs, and clamps.
•
For detailed information refer to the appropriate FSB, as listed in Table 2 on
page 19.
