WEEE Notice

If you purchased your SPAN-CPT product in Europe, please return it to your dealer or supplier at the end of its life. The objectives of the European Community's environment policy are, in particular, to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilise natural resources prudently and rationally. Sustainable development advocates the reduction of wasteful consumption of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a regulated area. Where the generation of waste cannot be avoided, it should be reused or recovered for

its material or energy. WEEE products may be recognized by their wheeled bin label ().1

Lightning Protection Installation and Grounding Procedure

What is the hazard?

A lightning strike into the ground causes an increase in the earth's potential which results in a high voltage potential between the center conductor and shield of the coaxial cable. This high voltage develops because the voltage surge induced onto the center conductor lags in time behind the voltage surge induced onto the shield.

Hazard Impact

A lightning strike causes the ground potential in the area to rise to dangerous levels resulting in harm to personnel or destruction of electronic equipment in an unprotected environment. It also conducts a portion of the strike energy down the inner conductor of the coax cable to the connected equipment.

Only qualified personnel, electricians as mandated by the governing body in the country of installation, may install lightning protection devices.

Actions to Mitigate Lightning Hazards

1.Do not install antennas or antenna coaxial cables outside the building during a lightning storm.

2.It is not possible to avoid over-voltages caused by lightning, but a lightning protection device may be used to shunt a large portion of the transient energy to the building ground reducing the over-voltage condition as quickly as possible.

3.Primary lightning protection must be provided by the operator/customer according to local building codes as part of the extra-building installation.

4.To ensure compliance with clause 7 "Connection to Cable Distribution Systems" of EN 60950-1, Safety for Information Technology Equipment, a secondary lightning protection device must be used for in-building equipment installations with external antennas. The following device has been approved by NovAtel Inc.:

Polyphaser - Surge Arrestor DGXZ+24NFNF-A

If this device is not chosen as the primary lightning protection device, the device chosen must meet the following requirements:

•UL listed, or equivalent, in country of installation (for example, TUV, VDE and so on) for lightning surge protection

•The primary device must be capable of limiting an incoming surge to 10kV

5.The shield of the coaxial cable entering the building should be connected at a grounding plate at the building's entrance. The lightning protection devices should have their chassis grounded to the same ground near to the building's entrance.
