High voltage peaks (e.g. caused by lightning strikes)
can be transmitted via the antenna cable and may
cause damage to the receiver. The receiver is pro-
tected against these effects by using the MBG S-PRO
surge protection.
Being installed in a waterproof housing, the MBG
S-PRO is also suitable for outdoor installation. Mein-
berg recommends the indoor installation, as soon as
possible after the antenna cable enters the building to
minimize the risk of overvoltage damage, e.g. due to
lightning strikes.
