7.7.5 Grounding the Installation

The Outdoor Unit (ODU) for the PTP 400 Series Bridge must be properly grounded to protect

against power surges. It is the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the

Canadian Electrical Code or the National Electrical Code in the country of installation. These

codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in

wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for

grounding electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to

a professional installer. See Section 11 “Lightning Protection” for recommended grounding

kits. Failure to follow these Lightning Protection recommendations will invalidate your

warranty if damage to the system is found to be caused by lightning.

connection has been placed inside the PIDU Plus hinged cover to prevent the user

due to the non-standard techniques employed to inject DC power into the 100BaseT

connection between the PIDU Plus and ODU. Plugging the ODU into other equipment may

damage the ODU and/or the other equipment.

Step 1: Undo the retaining screw and hinge
