Installing The Mediatrix Unit

Warning
:
When installing or replacing the Mediatrix unit, the earth ground connection
between the grounding screw on the back of the Mediatrix unit and an appropriate grounding
point in your site must always be made first and disconnected last. This is mandatory to avoid
any damage or injuries, even if the Mediatrix unit is installed in a grounded equipment rack.

The earth ground cable should be the same size (18 AWG minimum) as the earth
cable of the provided power cord. Otherwise, make sure the earth ground cable meets the
standards and requirements of your local electrical code. The type of the cable is likely to
have VW-1 or RT1 markings on the cable.
Warning
:
The earth ground cable must be firmly and securely connected to the grounding
screw on the back of the Mediatrix unit and an appropriate grounding point in your site: the
earth ground cable must remain tightly secured at all times during service and installation.
