The lightning rod is typically installed as a building lightning
protection system. See Figure 27 on page 38.
W arning
The installation of this QGFSP must meet the local code and
regulations for lightning installation.
Caution
The lightning rod must have its own separate grounding cable.
The lightning rod should be mounted at least 3 meters (10 feet)
but not more than 25 meters (85 feet) away from the RAU with
the lightning rod extending the same distance vertically above
the tip of the RAU antenna as the horizontal distance between
the lightning rod and the RAU. See Figure 27 on page 38.
Caution
If the RAU is hit by lightning, both the RAU and the junction
box will very likely be permanently damaged. In areas of high
lightning activity, a separate lightning rod is recommended.
Refer to local codes for any additional requirements on proper
installation with respect to lightning protection and grounding.
