5 EARTHING
Earthing (or grounding) all components is important especially if the BS is installed
outside. The reasons are:
- Protection against lightning strikes;
- Evacuation of static electricity in the cables and equipment.
Make sure the earth connectors are placed on surfaces free of paint or corrosion
allowing the best electrical conduction.
Base station earth point is marked with following symbol:
To protect the station, it must be earthed with a G/Y 6mm2 wire (or AWG9).
First you need to unscrew the bolt M4 to insert a
grounding lug onto the HC screw M4x20 and the
over the 2 washers already in place. The correct
tightening torque is of 2.2 N.m. If needed, you
can bend the lug to ease the insertion of the wire.
