3.5 EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS 3.5.1 GROUNDING CONNECTION Ground connection

To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC power source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the ground terminal of the AC supply. Protective Ground Connection

The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm2) to the grounding terminal on the equipment/rack, and the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An internationally acceptable colour code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow. Such a ground connection implements the “Protective Ground Connection”, and must be connected to the equipment at the designated ground point. In general, do not connect the supply before establishing an adequate ground (earth) connection. Construct the ground wire, and use appropriate crimp connectors where necessary. Locate and connect the equipment grounding terminal to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point).

3.5.2 SERVICE VOLTAGE CONNECTION The product accepts AC 220 or AC 110V power depending on the type of PSU installed. • •

The equipment accepts single phase 220VAC/110VAC power. The recommended AC connection is rated at AC220V, 3.15A and has three connections to include earth. The power cord has been pre-wired to the PSU and led out via the power cable gland. The power cord has been pre-wired to the PSU and led out via the power cable gland.

3.5.3 LI-ION BATTERY CONNECTION The method to connect the Li-ion battery is product specific. For the Li-ion battery with switch, which identified as “BAT2” on PSU, please enable the Li-ion battery by switching to “1” and disable by switching to “0”. The Li-ion battery switch is OFF prior to shipment. For the one without switch, an in-line connector close to the battery pack is used to control the Li-ion battery connection, which is “disconnected” before shipping.

Notice: Please enable the Li-ion battery connection after equipment is powered to ensure alarm unit working in the event of power failure.

3.5.4 RF CABLE CONNECTION The connection of feeder cables is as follows: • •

MT port → Connected to the feeder cable from service antenna DT port → Connected to the feeder cable from donor antenna
