Lightning protection
Danger due to lightning strikes
Antennas installed outdoors must be within the area covered by a lightning protection system.

protection potential equalization system.
When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the VDE 0182
or IEC 62305 standard.
Suitable lightning protectors are available in the accessories (Page 18) of SIMATIC NET Industrial

Installing this lightning protector between an antenna and a SCALANCE W device is not
