Grounding Your FTB-500
When you perform an outside plant test with modules such as the
FTB-8100 or the FTB-8110, you have to ground your FTB-500 because it can
be exposed to overvoltages from the telecommunication network.
Note: To ground your unit, you need a grounding wire (18AWG minimum) with a
U shape terminal.
To ground your FTB-500:
1. Place the U shape terminal under the grounding stud’s screw head.
2. Screw the grounding stud tight.
