Grounding The Installation; Making The Odu Connection At The Pidu Plus - Motorola PTP 300 Series User Manual

6.5.6 Grounding the Installation

The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against power surges. It is the
user's responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the National Electrical Code in the
country of installation. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the
outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and
connection requirements for grounding electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the
outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.

6.5.7 Making the ODU Connection at the PIDU Plus

The procedure for connecting the RJ45 from the ODU to the PIDU Plus is described in Figure
29. The ODU is connected to the PIDU Plus by means of a concealed RJ45 connector. The
RJ45 connection has been placed inside the PIDU Plus hinged cover to prevent the user from
inadvertently plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket.
CAUTION
Plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket may damage the equipment due
to the non-standard techniques employed to inject DC power into the 100BaseT
connection between the PIDU Plus and the ODU. Plugging the ODU into other
equipment may damage the ODU and/or the other equipment.
