Installation (Cont.)
4.9 Secured Grounding
Attach the grounding braid by using the
ground lug as a guide. Use the appropriate eyelet
to allow both sides of the ring cut to be mounted
in the following step. Then attach the additional
washer and nut to the ground lug to secure the
braid in place.
4.8 Insert Ground Lug
Insert the supplied ground lug with the
terminal lug into the bottom of the Optima 16,
compressing the rubber seated gasket to the
outside of the enclosure to ensure a water tight
seal. With the long threaded end on the inside of
the enclosure, attach the ground lug to the base by
using the supplied washer and nut(s).
4.10 Install CSM Clamp
Attach the CSM clamp to the base of the
Optima 16 using the supplied hardware. Be sure
to install both clamps on the opposite entry ports
of the base to accommodate the ring cut. DO NOT
tighten the CSM clamp all the way down but just
loose enough to slide the CSM under the clamp.
4.11 Fiber Management Clips
Insert the included fiber management
clips into the slots of the Optima 16 base in the
orientation shown. Ensure each clip is fully pushed
in to prevent it from falling out in later steps. Insert
2 additional fiber management clips into the top
section to secure the fiber pigtails into the back of
the bulkhead connectors.
