Figure 6-13 Ground Connections for Subscriber Unit
6.6.2 Grounding the Outdoor Subscriber Unit
1. To ground the outdoor Subscriber Unit, you will need to install a grounding wire from the
mounting pole to the grounding rod. The wire should be long enough to reach from the
mounting pole to the grounding rod with 3 to 6 feet extra to allow for strain relief.
2. Connect a ground lug to one end of a measured length of copper braided wire by crimping
the lug to the wire, as shown in Figure 7-14.
3. 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.
4. Attach the grounding wire to the clamp on the grounding rod. If necessary, use wire staples
to secure the grounding wire to the outside wall.
