Figure 3-24. Assembling the Lightning Suppressor

10.Install 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) nonmetallic conduit from the antenna to the lightning suppressor, and from the lightning suppressor to the cable entrance into the building.

11.Install a user-supplied bracket, preferably non-metallic, to support the vertical section of conduit to the antenna.

12.Route the antenna cable through the conduit, and connect the cable to the lightning suppressor. See Table 2-4for specific cable lengths.

13.If the lightning suppressor is not mounted directly to a valid earth ground, crimp a length of 4.115 mm (6 AWG) ground cable to the two-hole terminal, slide the terminal over any two of the three threaded posts on the lightning suppressor mounting plate, and attach the terminal to the mounting plate with two KEPS nuts. Use the two posts that allow the least bending of the cable.
