4. You can ground the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) enclosure in one of two ways, depending on whether the pole to which you
mount it is already grounded. For both approaches, you must connect the grounding wire from the mounting plate to the
ground lug at the bottom of the enclosure and tighten the ground lug nut as shown in Figure 6.
4.1 Thread the end of the grounding wire
through the hole in the grounding lug
on the underside of the enclosure
and make sure the exposed wire
contacts the walls of the lug.
4.2 With a
1
⁄2" (13-mm) nut driver,
tighten the nut until the grounding
wire is secured.

If the pole is grounded, then the pole bracket, which is designed to pierce paint and oxidation, provides the grounding by forming
an electrical connection from the grounded pole through the pole bracket to the mounting plate, then through the grounding
wire to the lug on the enclosure, and then through the internal mounting plate to the enclosed SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) itself.
If the pole is not grounded, then you must connect a 10 AWG copper wire from the grounding stud to a grounding rod that is
bonded to the earth.
