External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding
A second Surge Arrestor Unit should be mounted at the building entry point and must be
grounded, as shown in

To mount the lightning protection at the building entry point:
1. Mount the device outside the building, located as near as possible to the entrance of
the CAT-5e ODU-IDU cable. Mount the unit so that the cable connectors are at the
bottom (to prevent water from penetrating), with the strain reliefs facing the ground.
2. Remove the cover by unscrewing the front of the unit.
3. Mount the unit to an outside surface using the two mounting holes.
4. Connect the ODU-IDU cable using the RJ-45 jack.
5. Connect one cable between the IDU and the suppressor using an RJ-45 jack.
6. Connect the suppressor's ground stud to a grounding point. Use the appropriate wire
gauge and type, keeping the wire as short as possible, less than 1m (3'), between
the stud and the site grounding point.
7. Replace the cover
