PES1900NR Operations Manual
Chapter 4. Mounting the PES1900GI NR — 49
Earth, Ground, and Lightning Protection
When grounding the PES1900Gi NR and associated equipment, follow the general guidelines in the
Peninsula Engineering Solutions application note,
Installation Standards for Grounding
Requirements
.
Installing the input power to the repeater includes installing the standard electrical service grounds.
However, you must also make sure that the repeater cabinet/chassis is properly grounded to a “water
pipe or earth ground”.
Each repeater cabinet (Primary and Growth) includes two external grounding lugs: one on the
repeater cabinet, and one on the Entry Box under the cabinet, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 14 Location of Ground Lug on Primary Cabinet
1. Connect the screw-compression ground lugs to a suitable earth ground—copper ground rod,
copper pipe, grounded steel building frame or similar ground point—using 2 to 7 mm, No. 6 to
2 AWG, copper wire.
2. Carefully dress the wire along cabinet, and the mounting surface, to the Repeater Grounding
System or the Ground Rod.
NOTE:
When dressing the grounding wire, and forming it around corners, avoid making sharp bends
in the wire. Use a generous radius for each wire bend.
