NX300 Operations and Maintenance Manual

Routine maintenance

Issue 3.0  2012-11-01

Page 3-5

Inspecting lightning protection systems

You should inspect the lightning protection systems that are connected to your NX300 transmitter, 
ac power, RF feedline, antenna and tower periodically to ensure that your site, equipment and 
personnel are fully protected. 

Interval

Every 6 months. 

Parts and tools

Depends on your site, but may include a DVM, ladder, binoculars, and continuity tester. 

Procedure

Perform the following steps to test the lightning protection systems: 

1. Test the continuity between ground available at your lightning arrestor and ground available 

on various pieces of equipment connected to the transmitter. Ensure that there is no 
resistance (0 ohms). 

2. Physically inspect the lightning arrestor to ensure that all connections are tight. Also look for 

any sign of scoring or burning (indications of possible damage from earlier lightning strikes). 

3. Using binoculars, visually inspect the hardware on the tower. Look for charred, broken or 

frayed connections and corrosion.
