What is a proper Ground?
This antenna must be grounded to a proper Earth Ground.
According to the The National Electrical Code Sections 810-15s and 810-21, the grounding
conductor shall be connected to the NEAREST accessible locations of the following:
a) The building / structure grounding electrode
b) The grounded interior metal water piping system
c) the power service accessible means external to enclosure
d) the metallic power service raceway
e) the service equipment enclosure
f) The grounding electrode conductor
The important thing is to connect to ground at the nearest point.
Why is coiling the LMR or CAT5 bad?
The myth is that lighting follows the path of least resistance. It actually follows the path of least impedance.
Coiling cables creates an air-wound transformer, which lowers the impedance. This means you are in fact
making your radios a more appealing target for surges
.
What standard does Tranzeo Wireless equipment meet?
This radio exceeds International Standard IEC 61000-4-5 when properly grounded. For a copy of the full
testing report, see
Report Number TRL090904 - Tranzeo Surge Protection board
located on the Tranzeo
website.
Is lightning damaged covered by the Warranty?
No. Lightning is not covered by the warranty. If you follow the instructions, you chances of lightning damage
are greatly reduced, but nothing can protect a radio from a direct lightning strike.
