Lightning Surge Protector Setup

Please read carefully the instructions provided with the coaxial surge protector to ensure safe and effective installation in terms of

grounding and maintenance.

1. Connect the male N-connector of the surge protector to the female N-connector of the outdoor antenna.
2. Connect the female N-connector of the surge protector to the male N-connector of the cable that leads to the signal

booster.

3. Clinch a copper wire to the grounding lug and then attach it to a master ground bar or earthing system in order to

ensure low impedance path to ground. The ground wire must be as short as possible and straight. It is essential that the

ground wire isn’t looped or coiled. The suitable grounding locations can as follows: a ground rod (a metal rod normally
buried outside the house), an electrical service panel (it is connected to the ground rod of the house), metal structure of

a building (provided that this structure is grounded itself).

4. Since the surge protector is not waterproof, tape it firmly with water resistant adhesive tape.

5. Connect other components of the repeater set according to the instructions given in this manual.

Lightning Surge Protector FAQ

How does a lightning surge protector work?

These devices divert excess voltage and current from transient and surge into grounding wire, preventing it from flowing through

the electrical and electronic equipment while at the same time allowing the normal voltage to continue along its path.

How can I understand that a surge protector is correctly installed?

The lightning surge protector can be installed in different manners. However, for maximum safety and efficiency we recommend
installing the surge protector between the outdoor antenna and the signal repeater. Thus all the subsequent elements of the

amplifying system will be protected.

To understand if the surge protector is installed correctly, check up your repeater functioning. If the booster works well and gets

incoming signals normally, it means the surge protector setup was correct.

What do I do if the lightning strikes a surge protector?

Its advisable to check the wiring after the lightning strike. To find a break, an electrician will use a circuit tracer to determine the
location of the damage. Once the damaged wiring is located, the electrician will evaluate the extent of the damage. This will help
determine whether the wire can be repaired or if the entire circuit will have to be replaced.

Please note that the warranty doesn't cover damage from lightning strikes.
