Using Surge Arresters
If grounding via the ground-wire screw connection, use the largest possible gauge wire, with
the shortest possible ground path. Hole diameter allows up to 8 AWG wire (0.129 in or 3.26 mm).
This wire should be as short as possible, and connected to a good earth ground.
Alternately, the AS0094500 could be mounted directly to a well-grounded plate within the
facility.
B.3.3
Antenna and Clock Connections
The AS0094500 is labeled to indicate which terminals should be connected to the GPS receiver and
to the GPS antenna. Use only a low-loss, tri-shield or quad-shield 75-ohm coaxial cable – RG-6
or RG-11 are the preferred cable types. RG-59, or other similar types of coaxial cable, should be
avoided due to greater signal loss and poorer shielding at the GPS frequency (1.575 GHz).
B.3.4
Weather Sealing the Connections
To protect from weather, use only type F connectors with appropriate sealing features. Typically
this includes an o-ring in the male connector that seats against the face of the female connector on
the surge arrester. Also, crimped connectors frequently include a silicone gel flooding compound,
which enhances the ability of the connection to withstand the rain and humid conditions. To better
seal the entire connection, cover the joint with GE Silicone II compound.
Use the proper crimping tool if using crimp-on connectors. Improper tools may not guarantee a
strong and sufficiently grounded connector resulting in poor cable performance and GPS reception.
Consider purchasing RF cables of various standard and custom lengths manufactured by Arbiter
Systems.
B.3.5
Suggested Mounting
Figure B.1 illustrates the recommended mounting of the AS0094500 with the F-connectors facing
downward. Install drip loops in the cables to reduce the likelihood of moisture penetrating the
device.
