Installation Guidelines Regarding Power Line Quality

Comtech EF Data has become familiar with the varying quality of the AC
power grid around the world. The following offers some installation guidelines
that should help ensure a reliable installation.
IMPORTANT
•
Surge suppression: High voltage surges can cause failure of the power supply. These surges
are typically caused by circuit switching on the main AC power grid, erratic generator
operation, and also by lightning strikes. While the LPOD does have built in surge
suppression, if the unit will be installed in a location with questionable power grid quality,
Comtech EF Data recommends installation of additional power conditioning/surge
suppression at the power junction box.
•
Grounding: The LPOD provides a grounding terminal. This is provided to allow the user to
ground the LPOD to the antenna's grounding network. All components installed at the
antenna should be grounded to a common grounding point at the antenna.
A Neutral Fusing - Double pole/ neutral fusing used on the prime power
supply input.
