4.4.4 Use an N-Type, Pole-Mounted Antenna

This antenna mounts remotely from the box, with the SureCross device mounted inside the box.
Ground the surge suppressor and antenna. Keep the ground wire as short as possible and make all ground connections to

a single-point ground system to ensure no ground loops are created.
