Lightning Protector Installation
Lightning Protector Installation
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property, and equipment by providing a path to the ground whenever lightning strikes your antenna installation. The RoamAbout Lightning Protector is an indispensable part of such a grounding system to protect your electronic equipment from transients and/or electrostatic discharges at the antenna.
For optimal protection, locate the RoamAbout Lightning Protector as follows:
•As close as possible to the point where the antenna cable enters the building.
•To allow connection to the same grounding system as the RoamAbout AP and the antenna mast.
Figure 3‐1 illustrates how to install the Lightning Protector. Table 3‐1 lists the mounting components.
