Earthing Accessories

SAF Tehnika does not supply any extra special earthing accessories due to the large variety of
earthing circuits one could find at the installation sites.
!
Since the IDU case is not grounded through the power connector, the IDU must
be grounded using grounding screw (M6) located on the back panel of the IDU.
Please note that proper grounding of all the components is essential to achieve reliable operation
and lightning protection. It is important to earth both the ODU and the IDU using the same
earthing circuit.
It is recommended to earth the radio cable in its lower part and for longer cable every 50 meters.
Both IDU and ODU units have a reasonable lightning and overvoltage protection built in.
However it is essential to fit the lightning rod on the mast head, the equipment should be fitted on
the mast so that it is located in the space contained by the 45 deg. cone, formed from the top of
the lightning rod to the ground. It is unacceptable to fit the antenna on the very top of the mast.
