5.6.1 Grounding the Outdoor AB-Extender
1. Place the grounding rod so as to allow for the shortest possible path from the grounding
cable to the outdoor AB-Extender.
2. Drive the grounding rod into the ground at least eight inches from the ground surface.
3. Attach a grounding clamp to the grounding rod. You will use this clamp to attach grounding
wires for both the outdoor transceiver and indoor junction box, reference Figure 5-13.
Figure 5-13 Ground Connections to AB-Extender Transceiver
Attention! The grounding wire should be long enough to reach from the mounting pole to
the grounding rod with 3 to 6 extra feet allowed for strain relief.
4. Connect a ground lug to one end of the grounding wire.
5. Remove one of the lower mounting screws of the mounting pole. Insert a screw through the
grounding lug terminal and re-install it to the mounting pole.
6. Attach the grounding wire to the clamp on the grounding rod, reference Figure 5-14. If
necessary, use wire staples to secure the grounding wire to the outside wall.
