5.2 Grounding

A safe grounding system is necessary to protect your ZyAIR from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. Direct grounding of the antenna mast, ZyAIR and surge arrester are very important. The ZyAIR has a built in surge arrester. The ZyAIR’s frame ground (see Section 2) should be connected to the same grounding system as the antenna mast and the AC wall outlet. The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your ZyAIR is properly grounded.
