Grounding Overview

Grounding of the IF cable should be done at the base of the tower and near the ODU
using grounding kits supplied by Trango. In addition, lightning surge suppressors should
be used to prevent damage due to nearby lightning strikes. Antenna and ODU should be
installed at least 10 feet below the top of the tower to prevent direct lightning strikes.
A Ground wire of AWG 12 or larger should be used and grounded to an Earth grounded
tower leg or Bus Bar before entry into the shelter. Figure 16 shows the overall ground
design.
