4 This procedure is complete.
Tip: Wiring information
The recommended wire gauge is 6 AWG.
Connect the ground lead to the building ground. Do not connect to a ground rod or series of
ground rods.
If you cannot connect the ground lead to the building ground, connect the ground lead to
the metal frame of the building. The connection must be no more than six to 10 ft.
You can connect the ground lead to the 120 V ac conduit, which is connected to the
building ground. However, using the ac conduit is not the preferred method of installation.
The connector between the antenna and the lightning surge protector and between the
lightning surge protector and the base station is a proprietary BNC connector. You must
align the BNC connectors before you can make the connection.
