Chapter 1 Pre-Installation Considerations
1.6.3
Lightning Ground
Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF trans-
mission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from
entering the site.
Comprehensive coverage of site grounding techniques and lightning protection is not within the
scope of this instruction manual, but there are several excellent industry sources for rules and
guidelines on grounding and lightning protection at communications sites.
1.6.4
Equipment Grounding
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear of the repeater power supply
module. This screw is used to connect the repeater to the site grounding. All antenna cables, and
AC and DC power cabling, should be properly grounded and lightning protected by following the
rules and guidelines provided in the above reference. Failure to provide proper lightning protection
may result in permanent damage to the radio equipment.
