6 Connect and Manage Cables
6.1 Connecting the Ground Cable
There is an option to connect a ground cable to the M6 screw threaded connection at the
bottom of the main body casting. This should be connected to a protection ground bar or
clamped directly to the steel structure of the power or pole. This is required in areas of high
lightning activity or when the AirSynergy unit is mounted on high exposed roofs or tower
structures. A direct earth ground connection is required for the surge protection devices inside the
AirSynergy to be effective.
1. Remove grounding screw and slip the ring terminal end of the ground cable onto the
screw prior to re-setting into the threaded hole.

2. Connect the ground cable to the to the protection ground bar using a suitable crimp lugs.
Alternatively use a clamp to bond the ground cable to the mounting pole or to the tower
structure.

Note:
When installing a protection ground take care to use suitable metal
combinations to avoid or minimize galvanic corrosion.
