Placement of the Surge Arrester
2
The WaveACCESS Surge Arrester is an indispensable part of your
outdoor antenna installation, to protect your sensitive electronic
equipment from transients or electro-static discharges at the
antenna.
For optimal protection the WaveACCESS Surge Arrester must be
installed at a location that satisfies the following requirements:
■
A location as close to the location where the antenna cable will
enter the building (see also “Placement of the WavePOINT-II
Hardware” on page 2-6).
■
The location allows for easily (dis-)connecting the surge
arrester from/to the WaveACCESS adapter card in the
WaveACCESS Office Router using the Cables Assembly
pictured in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3.
■
The location provides a connection to the same grounding
system as the WavePOINT-II unit and the outdoor antenna
mast as described in “Grounding System” on page 2-15.
Antenna Cable Route
2
The antenna cable must be connected to the WavePOINT-II unit
via the WaveACCESS Surge Arrester and Cable Assembly as
pictured in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3. To plan the route of the antenna
cable please consider the following:
■
Does the cable route require drilling through a wall or ceiling?
■
Do you have a building plan of the desired location showing
any other existing cabling routes like electricity, telephone or
networking?
■
Does the type of building materials require special tools for
drilling purposes?
