195E POLE MOUNT GROUNDING PROCEEDURES
Mounting the 195E series radio modem outdoors requires proper grounding procedures to prevent damage to both the radio
hardware and the connected Ethernet and Serial peripherals. The case on the 195E series wireless modem is electrically
conductive, but the AA195 Pole Mount kit provides isolation from the connected structure. To bring the 195E case to a ground
potential with Earth ground and eliminate any static buildup on the case itself, the shield on the Ethernet cable is used to provide the
ground connection.
Outdoor Ethernet Cable
A critical component of this grounding protection system is the ESTeem AA09.1 outdoor, shielded CAT-5E Ethernet cable. This
cable provides three, necessary elements; Ethernet data, DC Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, and a ground from the 195E
case to the AA166 surge protector. The Ethernet cable is outdoor rated and protected from UV breakdown.
Installation
The following diagram outlines all the critical components and connections in the 195E series system. The Earth ground
connection to the surge protector must be installed to comply with local Electrical code requirements.
