Ground Cable Installation
The Kona Micro Outdoor Gateway is considered Permanently Connected Equipment and
requires a permanently connected Protective Earth Ground (PEG) conductor. The Protective
Earth Ground connection is made through a 1/4 x 0.75” on center double hole lug to the ground
termination point illustrated in Figure 5. The recommended ground cable gauge is #10 AWG.
The Kona Micro Outdoor Gateway grounding system shall follow local and national electrical
codes. The Protective Earth Ground conductor terminated at the double hole lug point is
mandatory and must be the first connection made to the Kona Micro Outdoor Gateway during
installation. Proper routing and termination of this cable is key to robust lightning withstand
performance; in high susceptibility installations, every effort shall be made to minimize
connection inductance and ground bed resistance.
The ground cable installation steps are as follows:
1.
Lightly abrade the surface of the casting ground area with a fine wire brush to remove
the oxide layer.
2.
Use a clean cloth to remove any debris from this surface.
3.
Immediately coat the contact surface with a thin layer of anti-oxidant compound.
4.
Install the ground cable through its 2-hole lug onto the chassis ground point using the
two supplied 1/4 - 20 x 1/2” bolts with flat and star lock washers, torqued to 10.4 Nm
(92 in·lbs).
