1. High-quality, all-weather, black plastic electrical tape, preferably 3/4” (19mm) wide to make it easier to manipulate the tape around the A8n Series BTS radio antenna ports. An RF port is often first wrapped with a layer of electrical tape to make it easier to remove the butyl rubber layer. - Page 19 3M Scotch Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape for this purpose. 2. High-quality, all-weather, black butyl rubber tape, preferably 3/4” (19mm) wide to make it easier to manipulate the tape around the A8n series BTS radio antenna ports. Butyl rubber tape is self-amalgamating - it chemically bonds to itself, forming a strong, waterproof joint.
- Page 20 A8n Series Super WiFi Base Station Installation Guide TPS13-002_rev1.0 5. In warm climates where there will be long exposure to sunlight, it is a good idea to wrap an extra layer or two of electrical plastic tape over the butyl rubber layer to enhance UV protection.

3. Secure the RF cable bundles to the pole. 4. Tighten the RF cable connectors around the A8n series 5GHz antenna ports with a torque wrench to the proper torque limit to ensure that correct internal seals and surface contacts are made. If a torque wrench is not available, first tighten the connector to finger tight, then tighten it with a wrench for an additional ⅛... -

- Page 29 A8n Series Super WiFi Base Station Installation Guide TPS13-002_rev1.0 External Lightning Protectors 1) Lightning Rod A lightning rod (air terminal) neutralizes the downward lightning strike by launching an upward ionized path. The lightning current will follow this path and is thus diverted away from personnel and electronic equipment.
- Page 30 A8n series base station embedded protectors. They can be put at strategic points such as the Ethernet port, AC power or antenna ports close to the A8n series base station. External lightning protectors are available in the market in the form of a protector box, which can be inserted simply in front of the ports to be protected.
- Page 31 A8n Series Super WiFi Base Station Installation Guide TPS13-002_rev1.0 While this section gives a general guideline on lightning protection, the detail specifications of a lightning protection system must be provided by local electricians and must be maintained and checked periodically in accordance with local regulations.
