pulsAR radio Operator's Manual

AWG #6 copper grounding cable (4.1 mm diameter).

Grounding lug, nut, bolt, lock washer (as required) for attaching the cable to the
metal tower or structure.

Anti oxidizing paste

Outdoor cable ties (as required)
The following steps describe a procedure for a proper Earth ground connection:
1. Select an adequate grounding point on the tower or structure near the radio. This point should be
below the unit and must not be inside the building. If you must drill a hole make sure it is NOT
in the tower supports or cross braces. If several outdoor units are installed in the same area you
may use the same grounding point.
2. Apply a thin film of anti oxidizing paste to both sides of the supplied grounding lug blade, as well
as the threads of the screw used to secure the lug.
3. Install this grounding lug onto the radio enclosure with one of the two screws used to secure the
mounting plate. This screw must go through (i) the lock washer, (ii) the grounding lug blade, (iii)
the radio mounting plate and finally into the enclosure, in that order. Insure that the cable
connector of the grounding lug is pointing downward.
4. Prepare the grounding cable by stripping an adequate amount of insulation from both ends and
apply anti oxidizing paste to the exposed copper.
5. Insert one end of the exposed cable into the radio ground lug and tighten the screw on the lug.
6. Use steel wool or sand paper to clean the grounding point on the metal tower or structure.
7. Apply a thin film of anti oxidizing paste to this grounding point surface.
8. Fasten the cable to the grounding point using a lug, bolt and nut as required.
9. If required secure the cable to the tower or structure with cable ties or clips. DO NOT bundle this
grounding cable with any other cable used for data, power or RF.
Cautions
When using the anti oxidizing paste read and follow the instructions and warnings for the selected
product. In addition you should note the following general guidelines:

The paste will act as a lubricant, therefore always use lock washers.

DO NOT apply the paste to RF and data cable connections: the anti-oxidizing paste is conductive
and may degrade the performance or damage the equipment.

DO NOT use electrical or other tape for sealing the grounding connections when using anti
oxidizing paste

DO NOT use thread-locking compound on the same screw with anti oxidizing paste.
