QUARTZ-ONYX
Hardware Manual
Earth Point
There is an earth point on the side of the QUARTZ-ONYX that may be used to earth
the router. When the antennas are placed outside of a building it is recommended
that the router be earthed as there is always a possibility that the antennas could
be struck by lightning. Earthing the router is unlikely to prevent it from receiving
catastrophic damage if an antenna receives a lightning strike but should prevent the
surge continuing down wiring connected to the router. This reduces both the shock
and the fire hazard.
