- ADA Compliance: When mounting the CAPXM at a pedestrian entrance, to meet ADA compliance, mount the top of the CAPXM screen no higher than 54 inches from the ground.
Install the Ground
IMPORTANT: An earth-ground rod is strongly recommended and should be no further than 12 feet (3.7 m) from the CAPXM and use a minimum of 12 gauge wire in most cases. The type and length of earth-ground rods vary by region. Contact the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in the municipality where you plan to install the CAPXM for correct grounding materials and installation procedures. A proper ground is critical to minimizing risk for the CAPXM from damaging electrical transients.
- Connect the ground wire (12 AWG or larger) to the CAPXM main earth ground connection.
- Run the wire from the CAPXM to suitable earth ground.
NOTE: Shield connections on boards should not be connected to the main earth ground connection.
CAUTION
To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact
underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.
