1. Use a hammer drill with a φ12 bit to drill holes perpendicularly with the wall at the marked
anchor points. Ensure that the depth of each hole ranges from 55 mm to 60 mm (2.17 in.
to 2.36 in.).
WARNING
Take proper safety measures before drilling holes to protect your eyes and respiratory tract
against dust.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner to clear dust inside and around the holes, and then measure the inter-
hole spacing. If the spacing is too wide or too narrow, drill holes again.
3. Tighten each expansion bolt slightly and place them perpendicularly into each hole.
4. Hit the expansion bolt using a rubber mallet to enable the expansion tube to completely
enter the hole.
5. Remove the M10x80 bolt, spring washer, and flat washer from each expansion bolt
assembly in sequence.
CAUTION
After disassembling an expansion bolt assembly, ensure that the top of the expansion tube
is on the same level as the wall. Otherwise, the BTS3902E cannot be installed on the wall
evenly and securely.
Step 4 Fit the mounting piece on the expansion bolt, and then use a combination wrench (17 mm [0.67
in.]) to tighten the expansion bolt to 25 N·m (221.27 lbf·in.), as shown in Figure 7-14.

through the PG connector labeled IN. Connect the OT terminals of the brown, blue, and
yellow/green core wires to the Lin, Nin, and GND ports on the surge protection box
respectively.
2. Route the power cable between the BTS3902E and the AC surge protection box through
the PG connector labeled OUT. Connect the OT terminals of the blue, brown, and green
and yellow wires to the Nout, Lout, and GND ports in the AC surge protection box,
respectively.

before using PVC insulation tape.
TIP
Wrap each connector with three layers of waterproof tape, from bottom up, then from top down, and finally
from bottom up. Do not cut the tape until all the three layers of the tape are already wrapped. When wrapping
tape, be sure that each layer of tape overlaps more than 50% of the preceding layer.
Step 7 Bind the cables using cable ties at equal spacing of 30 cm (11.81 in.) and verify that the bend
radius of the corrugated pipe is not less than 60 mm (2.36 in.).

NOTE
Do not use the removed thread-lock sealing nut of the PG connector with the thread-lock sealing nuts on
other surge protection boxes.
Step 2 Glide the thread-lock sealing nut and then the PG connector over the power cable.
Step 3 Connect the power cables to the AC surge protection box, as shown in Figure 8-18. The power
cable on the left connects the BTS3902E and the AC surge protection box, and the power cable
on the right connects the AC surge protection box and the external power device.

and the AC surge protection box protection box and the external power
device
1. Lead the power cable between the surge protection box and the external power device
through the PG connector labeled IN. Connect the OT terminals of the brown, blue, and
yellow/green core wires to the Lin, Nin, and GND ports on the surge protection box
respectively.
2. Route the power cable between the BTS3902E and the AC surge protection box through
the PG connector labeled OUT. Connect the OT terminals of the blue, brown, and green
and yellow wires to the Nout, Lout, and GND ports in the AC surge protection box,
respectively.
3. Tighten the thread-lock sealing nut, and then use a wrench to tighten the PG connector to
ensure it is waterproofed properly.
Step 4 Fasten the power cables using clips.
NOTE
Ensure that the insulation layer of each power cable is fastened using clips.
Step 5 Close the cover plate of the surge protection box and tighten the screw to 1.4 N·m (123.91 lbf.in.)
using an M4 Phillips screwdriver, as shown in Figure 8-19.
Figure 8-19 Closing the cover plate of the AC surge protection box
Step 6 Wrap the joints of the corrugated pipe and power cables using waterproof tape and polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) insulation tape, as shown in Figure 8-20. Wrap the joints using waterproof tape
before using PVC insulation tape.
TIP
Wrap each connector with three layers of waterproof tape, from bottom up, then from top down, and finally
from bottom up. Do not cut the tape until all the three layers of the tape are already wrapped. When wrapping
tape, be sure that each layer of tape overlaps more than 50% of the preceding layer.
Step 7 Bind the cables using cable ties at equal spacing of 30 cm (11.81 in.) and verify that the bend
radius of the corrugated pipe is not less than 60 mm (2.36 in.).
Step 8 Install the PGND cable and equipotential cable, as shown in Figure 8-21.

l The bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the cable.
The cables must be bound as follows:
l The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
l The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line. Extra length of cable ties must be cut.
l Labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables after they are installed.
The cables must be routed as follows:
l PGND cables and signal cables must be installed in an untangled and orderly fashion. A
certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
l Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.
l Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
l All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground
terminal.
Cabling requirements for fiber optic cables are as follows:
l Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the cables away
from sharp objects.
l When fiber optic cables are routed, the extra length of the cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
l When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the cables with force.
l Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.

Step 7 Strip the sheath off each core wire, as shown in Figure 9-32.
Step 8 Add OT terminals to the three core wires, as shown in Figure 9-33.
----End
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the position for installing the ground clip on the cable based on the actual cable route.
Step 2 Use a utility knife to strip the sheath off the FE/GE cable for about 32 mm to expose the shield
layer, as shown in Figure 9-34.
CAUTION
Do not damage the shield layer when stripping the sheath off the cable.
Step 3 Install the ground clip on the shield layer of the cable, and then use a screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the ground clip, as shown in Figure 9-35.
Step 4 Wrap three layers of waterproof tape and three layers of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation
tape at the ground clip.
CAUTION
l Wrap the tape around the clip from bottom up, then from top down, and finally from bottom
up. Do not cut the tape until all the three layers of the tape are already wrapped. When
wrapping tape, be sure that each layer of tape overlaps more than 50% of the preceding layer.
l The degree between the ground cable and the FE/GE cable is not greater than 15°. When the
FE/GE cable is routed vertically, the ground cable must be routed downwards.
