You should install the Antenna Ground Buss Bar on the mounting structure per accepted telecom
standards and procedures (Figure 11). The location is decided on during the site survey and
should be close to the RFS. Two or more buss bars may be installed per system.

System Ground Wiring
A minimum #6 stranded copper, green-coated wire and grounding hardware are used for ground
connections. Install the system ground as a single-point connection between the system ground
buss bars, the data/power surge protector, the BTS chassis, the BTS mounting rack, and the RFS
antenna. Connect the system ground to earth ground. Apply anti-oxidant joint compound to all
connections. Tighten all connections until secure.
