Placement of the Lightning Protector 2
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and
equipment by providing a path to the ground whenever lightning
strikes your antenna installation. The RoamAbout Lightning
Protector is an indispensable part of such a grounding system to
protect your electronic equipment from transients and/or
electrostatic discharges at the antenna.
For optimal protection, the location of the
RoamAbout Lightning
Protector
:
• Must be as close as possible to the point where the antenna
cable enters the building.
• Allow for easy installation/removal of the lightning protector
using the cables shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-3.
• Provide a connection to the same grounding system as the
RoamAbout Access Point 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 RoamAbout Access
Point via the RoamAbout Lightning Protector 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 questions:
• 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 building material require special tools for drilling?
• Is there adequate space and drainage for installing all
necessary antenna cable drip loops?
