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

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.
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.
1.
Loosen the screw.
2.
Insert a grounding wire (user-
supplied)*.
3.
Tighten the screw.
4.
Connect the grounding wire to
ground.
5.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each
shelf.
*
For grounding wire, green-and-yellow insulation is required, and the cross-sectional area of the
conductor must be more than 0.75 mm
