Installation -- Continued

Grounding the Media Converter

The SAPTF33xx-1xx single-slot chassis comes equipped with grounding lugs located on the back panel. They require 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 single-slot chassis must:

•Flow via the grounding lugs to the common bonding network (CBN).

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

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

The conductor must be fastened to the grounding lugs with the enclosed anti- rotation star-washers and lug-nut fasteners. The applied torque required to the connector lug-nut fasteners is specified by the connector’s manufacturer.

To properly ground the SAPTF33xx-1xx single-slot chassis:

1.Obtain one (1) grounding conductor (12 AWG copper wire gauge or larger) with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector.

2.Attach the grounding conductor to the converter by placing the two-hole connector onto the grounding lugs and fasten with the enclosed lock- washers / lug-nuts at the proper torque (per the manufacturer’s specification).

3.Attach the opposite end of the grounding lugs grounding conductor to the
