A.1 Checking IDU Power Supply Grounding
Caution!
If the power supply of an IDU device is incorrectly grounded, the power supply will be burnt.
You must follow the method described in this manual to verify that the power supply of an
IDU device is properly grounded.
Figure A-1 shows how the power of an IDU device is supplied.
A-1

Figure A-1 Grounding
1. Antenna 2. ODU
Note:
In Figure A-1, the IDU device is used as an example. Your actual device may be different.
Prerequisites
Before checking IDU power supply grounding, verify the following:
l The IDU device is installed completely.

l The IDU cabinet is grounded properly.
l The IDU device is connected to the power supply properly.
A-2

Appendix A Appendix
l The air circuit breaker of the power supply cable is in off state.
Steps
Perform the following steps to determine whether the IDU device power supply is properly
grounded.
1. Check whether the multimeter operates properly.
Use the red and black probes to form a short circuit to check whether the multimeter
operates properly. If a resistance of 0 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the multimeter
operates properly. Otherwise, check or replace the multimeter.
2. Check the resistance between the IDU device power cable and the Protective Earth
(PE).
Use a probe of the multimeter to touch point 1 in the power cable core corresponding to
the –48V GND of the IDU power supply board. Use the other probe to touch the shared
grounding busbar of the cabinet where the IDU device is located. If a resistance of
less than 10 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the power supply is grounded properly.
Otherwise, check the grounding connection.
3. Check the resistance between the power cable core of the IDU device and the PE.
Use a probe of the multimeter to touch point 2 in the power cable core corresponding
to the –48V of the IDU power supply board. Use the other probe to touch the shared
grounding busbar of the cabinet where the IDU device is located. If a resistance of over
1000 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the power supply core is grounded properly.
Otherwise, check the –48V and –48V GND cable connections. One cable cannot be
connected to the terminal of another cable.
