Chapter 18 Lightning Protection And Grounding Guidelines; Grounding For Antenna Cable - Radwin 5000 HPMP User Manual

Lightning Protection and
Grounding Guidelines
Meticulous implementation of the guidelines in this chapter will provide best protection
against electric shock and lightning.
100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Warning
This chapter is at best a guide. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and regulations.
Note
The RADWIN Lightning Protection System consists of the following components:
• Grounding for the antenna coax cable
• Grounding for each ODU
• External Primary Lightning Protector units and grounding for the outdoor cable
• Internal ESD protection circuits over the Power/Telecom lines

Grounding for Antenna Cable

A Grounding Kit must be connected to the coax antenna cable and reliably grounded. The
grounding kit is an Andrew Type 223158-2 (www.andrew.com). See
