2.2 Installation of the Hybrid IP-PBX 2.2.10 Frame Ground Connection IMPORTANT Make sure to separately connect the frame of each shelf to a different ground terminal. Do not connect it to other shelves. 1. Loosen the screw. 2. Insert a grounding wire (usersupplied)*. 3. Tighten the screw. 4. Connect the grounding wire to ground. 5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each shelf. Screw Grounding wire To ground * For grounding wire, green-and-yellow insulation is required, and the cross-sectional area of the conductor must be more than 0.75 mm2 or 18 AWG. • Be sure to comply with applicable local regulations (e.g., laws, guidelines). • Proper grounding (connection to ground) is very important to protect the Hybrid IP-PBX from the bad effects of external noise or to reduce the risk to the user of electrocution in the case of a lightning strike. • The grounding wire of the AC cable has an effect against external noise and lightning strikes, but it may not be enough to protect the Hybrid IP-PBX. A permanent connection between ground and the ground terminal of each Hybrid IP-PBX must be made. In most of the continental United States, the ground provided by the "Third wire ground" at the commercial power outlet will be satisfactory. However, in a small percentage of cases this ground may be installed incorrectly. Therefore, the following test procedure should be performed. Test Procedure 1. Obtain a suitable voltmeter and set it for a possible reading of up to 250 V AC. 2. Connect the meter probes between the 2 main AC voltage points on the wall outlet. The reading obtained should be 108 V AC to 132 V AC. 3. Move one of the meter probes to the 3rd prong terminal (GND). Either the same reading or a reading of 0 volt should be obtained. 4. If a reading of 0 volt at one terminal and a reading of 108 V AC to 132 V AC at the other terminal is not obtained, the outlet is not properly grounded. This condition should be corrected by a qualified electrician (per article 250 of the National Electrical Code). 5. If a reading of 0 volt at one terminal and a reading of 108 V AC to 132 V AC at the other terminal is obtained, then set the meter to the "OHMS/RX1" scale, place one probe at the GND Terminal and the other probe at the terminal which gave a reading of 0 volt. A reading of less than 1 ohm should be obtained. If the reading is not obtained, the outlet is not adequately grounded. See qualified electrician. 102 Installation Manual
