The lightning surge protector must be installed between the
outdoor antenna and the coax cable connected to the repeater.
After connecting the lightning surge protector to the outdoor
antenna, connect one end of the coax cable to the repeater and
the second - to the surge protector. Since this cable runs inside
your home, make sure the lightning surge protector is located
outside your home, near the entry to mitigate fire hazards.
To ground the surge protector, we suggest using a copper
ground wire no smaller than 2,5mm. If you are using insulated
wire, make sure to strip about one inch of the insulation from
both ends before installing the wire.
Use a wire that’s long enough so it reaches your grounding
point, but short enough to avoid creating sharp bends or coiling
the wire. Also, avoid using braided copper wire.
Attach the bottom of the grounding wire to your grounding
point.
ATTENTION!
Not grounding your lightning surge protector will
have the same effect as not having a surge protector.
