Grounding

Provision is made for both protective ground (earthing) and functional ground (earthing). In addition, where the installation of telephone and/or other standard (tip/ring) devices in another building is required, In-Range-Out-Of-Building (IROB) protectors must be fitted (see page 36).

Protective Ground

A protective ground must be permanently fitted to IP400 Analog Trunk 16 modules (see page 27). Connection of this protective ground requires the use of suitable tools and must be connected at both ends before connection is made to the telecommunications network.

To connect the protective ground:

1.Attached one end of a #14 AWG (minimum) solid insulated cable (sleeve must be green/yellow) to the Protective Ground Point as shown below.

Ensure that the Ground Post securing screw is fully tightened.

Functional Ground

To ensure proper operation of the IP Office equipment, functional grounding is required:

Caution: This functional ground is not a protective ground – see above for protective grounding.

On some models of the units/expansion modules, there may not be a specific M4 functional ground point. In which case use either the Trunk module kit fixing screw or the top cover centre fixing screw as shown below:
