Appendix C Installing the Two-Way GPS Antenna
Making GPS Connections
Warning:
To prevent arcing, ensure that the lightning suppressor is
installed away from electrical devices and cabling.
Note:
Use the following antenna installation instructions as a
guideline only. Install the antenna using company-approved
techniques, and follow all appropriate local building and electrical
codes.
Recommendation:
Symmetricom recommends that you use one of
the following grounding points:
Valid roof ring ground system
Cad weld to building structural steel
Ground plate within 50 feet (15 m) of antenna cable entrance into
building
You can order two lengths of cable: one connecting the antenna to
the lightning suppressor and one from the suppressor to the
TimeCreator 1000. Or you can order one length of cable; you need to
cut the cable and terminate it properly, using your own tools.
