CPSMC08xx-100 PointSystem™ Chassis

4.1.3Grounding Lugs

The CPSMC08xx-100 comes equipped with grounding lugs, which are provided for a grounding conductor wire terminated with a two-hole,compression-type, grounding connector. The grounding wire -- which must be a copper conductor -- is not included with the chassis and must be provided by the customer/installer.

The electrical conducting path from the chassis must:

•Flow via the grounding lugs to the Common Bonding Network (CBN) for telecom installations; or to an alternate approved grounding system (if required) for non-telecom installations,

•Be of sufficiently low impedance to conduct fault currents likely to be imposed on the chassis, and

•Enable proper operation of any over-current protection devices.

The two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector must be fastened to the grounding lugs with the enclosed, anti-rotationstar-washers and lug-nut fasteners. The required torque to the fasteners is specified by the connector’s manufacturer.

chassis

To properly ground the CPSMC08xx-100 chassis:

1.Obtain one (1) properly-terminated, grounding conductor (12 AWG copper wire gauge or larger) with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector. Note the manufacturer's applied torque that is required for the connector.

2.Attach the grounding conductor to the chassis by placing the two-hole, compression-type connector onto the grounding lugs and fasten with appropriate lock-washers and lug-nuts at the proper torque.

3.Attach the opposite end of the properly-terminated grounding conductor to the Common Bonding Network (CBN) for telecom installations, or to an approved grounding system (if required) for non-telecom installations.
